I’m still exploring the idea of identity and media bombardment as I create collages. I’m liking them and also regretting having torn apart and trashed my original masks.
This whole assignment is giving me crippling anxiety. I am such a craft/product person, and it is very foreign for me to spend so much time researching. I have found the time valuable, as I have researched so many different artists and concepts, but not being able to quantify all of my work with a well-made product is driving me crazy.
I do, however, feel like my visual research skills have developed immensely.
Here are some pieces I’ve made. I don’t know how, “realistic” they are, but I think they address my concepts in a more figurative way than the original masks did. I also think there is more room for interpretation (which could be good or bad).
