Final Project: Process
For the final project I'm tackling the concept of life and death through a canvas diptych. I wanted to explore the process of photo transfer while also working with my area of study (painting). One panel represents life, and the other death.
The life panel has photos of my grandparents when they're my age juxtaposed with the flower of life mandala and other flowers. Neither panel is done and I plan on incorporating more brush strokes that are lively and gestural to signify life and also possibly more imagery.
The death panel has a photo of them much later in life and incorporates imagery such as a death certificate, skeletal sections and lilies (the most common funeral flower). I plan on using more stiff straight brush strokes on this panel to symbolize things slowing down from the first panels more fluid lines.
I've kept the color scheme for both panels neutral to mimic the antique quality of the old photographs I transfered and a unify them together. I might add one color to each panel, I haven't decided yet.

Project 4: Final
For this project I want to explore the process of photo transfers. I want to combine the process with my studio concentration of painting and produce a final product on canvas. Conceptually I want to explore the theme of life and death, I recently found out a lot about my grandparents through genealogy research including photos of them when they were about my age, and would like to combine these images with icons people typically associate with the theme of life and death (i.e. skulls and flowers) to create a mixed media final product. I want to explore this concept because after finding the photos I've been thinking a lot about death and how they were my age once and have returned to the earth and how I will someday too. Long story short, I want to explore my morbid curiosity.
