Locating_ self initiated brief

This week has been spent considering and developing a theme and concept with which to work from for this project.

I have decide to focus on the contrasting elements of light and dark, stemming from the principals of yin and yang. I am interested in how light interacts with form and the resulting visual effects; the way light enhances and highlights or distorts what is perceived. I am particularly interested in shadows which go mostly unnoticed but are important in understanding the world, visually. I will explore them as both an abstracted form in isolation and as a transitional imprint; working with the following key words to create a body of visual resources.

Silhouette

Transition

Juxtaposition

Conceal/ Reveal

Positive/ Negative

Illuminate/ Eclipse

Fragment/ Interlink

Enhanced spaces.....

I intend to use photographic and mark making techniques to gather information to work from and then develop through sampling and the exploration of materials.
