Below is a short video of my Assignment Two piece which I hope shows the work in slightly more detail. As mentioned in the commentary it was remarked in my feedback meeting that the piece has the look of a drawing. I will make some paintings that explore the gestural lines in the work. I will add these to the post when they are completed.
I completed a set of gestural drawings and ink paintings using Totally Wired as the template. The results, whilst having some merit, were disappointing. I feel that the lines whilst following the lines of the work and having a pleasing flow lack the interest that is provided by the wires. There is less to challenge and interest the eye and the resultant drawings look rather flat and uninteresting. A further challenge would be to undertake a more detailed drawing or painting which also tries to pick out some of the tonal interest along with the flow of the wires. Perhaps this could focus in on a section of the work rather than trying to capture it all.
