This week we looked at marks created around town, for
example; graffiti and marks that aren’t uniform to others like the layering of
bricks, but marks which have no pattern. We went out taking photos of these, I
particularly liked the graffiti that was painted on a light in a tunnel under
the railway.
The light distorts what the word actually says and
I recreated this by overlapping the letters in ‘bright’ at the top of the page
in graphite. I carried on responding to this by adding straight lines which
show how light travels. I also used more curved marks to present the shape of
the light bulbs. I used a rubber to create more contrast and add more light. I
then included dark marks which are similar to paint drippings on a wall.
We looked at Naomi Lister, an artist who uses mixed media to respond to
situations.
I responded to the marks by layering
emulsion onto them
and using the
rubber to create smudges in the paint.
