Working with paper

The next process experimented with was paper cut outs and layering. This is a process that I have worked with previously, but only briefly touched on. I felt the work I was producing with the string circle/coil was becoming rather static and not getting anywhere in terms of a possible final artwork. The relevance of this approach, as you will see is the idea of the continuation and alteration of the lie throughout the story.

moving away from circle and looking more at the imagery of the ripple itself

 

Throughout the course this project I have been focusing more on the circle aspect of the ripple rather than what a ripple actually looks like. The different wayas in which it moves and expands. As I am using the ripple effect as my inspiration I felt that moving in this direction would be more successful, especially with regrds to a possible final artwork.

 

The experimental pieces documented above are my first attempts at working with a more complex composition. The use of the different layers and shapes within each piece is very interesting and an aspect that I am interested in developing for this project. The image above I find to be the most successful, conceptually and aesthetically and as a result will be taking this one forward for the further development into a final artwork.
