30 knickers... check!


Ive finished the 30 pairs of knickers that I wanted to do! Woop woop... now just got to work out what context I should put them in... thinking time!

Scanner manipulations


Worrying that I was moving too far away from the idea of indecisiveness, and the different options that slip in and out of consciousness , I wanted to play around with the idea of moving the image to make it seem like they are being moved. I used the scanner to do this as you can keep the same image and move it about freely to get different affect, and with some of the images, overlaying them to give the idea of the mind changing from one option to another.

Mono print knickers

I wanted to try and add some colour in my work. I love mono printing and the effect that it gives pieces of work, so applied this style to the same knicker images I used with the pencil sketches. However I like the intricacy of the pencil drawings and so do not want to replace them with the monos, but try and work out a way of using both of them together.

Frames and Font



Here is some more developmental work, playing with childrens rhymes that are used to help make a choice/decision in a game. Which person to pick to play with, and many other games. 'Eenie meenie minie moe' is the tune I have chosen to apply to images to show a way of choosing an image.

Frames, to me, seem to show that something is more important than it may be. You can put something that may not seem as important or special in a frame to make it more important The mundane decision or choice of knickers, being put in a frame, seems to make them seem more important than they are.

Ive also used text over the top of the image to combine them together, experimenting with the different way images can be put together.

Flipbook


Playing on the idea of changing your mind and different options coming in and out of consciousness when making a decision, I wanted to try and visually show thing through making a flipbook. These are the stages of images for this, starting at the top left, going down and then from the bottom of the second column up and then top of third down etc... After making it it seems like the process is a bit quick, and there needs to be more of a transition from one image to the next, and maybe less pairs or more random pairs popping into the consciousness and then out again. This is something to think about and play with.

Changing your mind



I wanted to add more of a confused approach to the way I was working. When making a decision you often change you mind, have one option, change your mind, and maybe go back to another option. These images show the underwear options that are available to be applied to different items of clothing.
