Phase I: After Critque

I really enjoy the way my second piece came out. Its a piece that I am really proud of, although it still needs a little work. I really enjoyed the feedback that I received in class today. It gave me so many new ideas and opened my mind up to things I didn't think of focusing on.
Here's a couple notes:

  • Spraying the wood so that the colors bleed better.
  • Adding some carving to tie it together with the fist piece. 
  • Try zooming in on a specific part.
  • Maybe use one color or no color and just have the wood burning stand alone.
  • Play around with more 3D materials to add to the body. 
  • Great tension with the birds- find a meaning behind them.
  • Connect a narrative or myth. 
I've been thinking a lot about the meaning of the birds in this piece and trying to connect that to my idea for phase two. I can't decide if I want to continue with this sort of narrative for the birds throughout all my pieces or have each piece take on their own narrative. I really can't decide. I'm going to continue with  some research on beauty, death, and narratives/myths that involve the human body.
