Mock final composition continued

I have added the charcoal marks which I was inspired by Mark Tobey to make to convey emotion through the genre, abstract expressionism. Using charcoal means that I can create dark and dense marks to reflect a distressed mood. I have varied the thickness of the marks and so the lines are representing different levels of distress. For example, a large, wide mark is more prominent and so represents an extreme emotion of anguish. Furthermore, I have layered fine marks onto the Tyvek using continuos line to show that these emotions are ongoing and that overthinking situations is constantly happening.

After this I heated the Tyvek using the heat gun to reveal the media that I had stuck behind it. I chose to use newspaper and my own black and white photographs to add context to the final piece. They represent events that have happened in the individual’s life which have impacted their mental state, whether that be related to Kafkaesque or depression. I have also added splatters of black acrylic paint over the top to emphasise a confused mood, I did this by flinging the paint onto the Tyvek. This fast motion that I used means that a stressed mood is easily conveyed.

To refine my final piece further, I want to make use of the rigid textures that heating Tyvek provides. I have experimented with this in my sketchbooks and I think adding it to the installation would allow the rough textures to be prominent in portraying a negative mood. I am going to attach several pieces of Tyvek onto the final piece to make it 3D and more textural to really accentuate the distressed mood of a Kafkaesque/depressed individual.
