Out of the '30 things project' the two i considered having the most potential were, as shown in my previous post, 'do a drawing for a matchbox' and 'write your name in water'. after a lot of brain storming i decided that the water piece had the most room for development and the project i could have the most fun with.
I decided to focus on the typographical aspect of my piece and the use of a liquid based substance as a medium. in my first piece the text was displayed on a window with the view showing through a little. i liked this idea of displaying the text on everyday object, where this running effect might occur naturally. the next challenge was deciding what the text would say, i wanted it to relate to the place its displayed but also link into the original brief: my name. What i finally chose to do was think of names which people can be called or words that can be used to describe a person, then place them in a natural environment that somehow relates to that word. for example in the photo above i used a glue acrylic blend to create the illusion of pancake batter saying the word 'wanting' because obviously everyone 'wants' pancakes!! but it also implies greed, temptations and many other connotations. the one thing i would change would be the letter W although i read it as wanting because i now what its meant to say, to someone else i think its not very clear.
for the word 'disposable' i used the same glue acrylic blend but in blue to represent toilet bleach, i could of used a bin for the word 'disposable' but i thought that was too literal and kind of left no room for a viewers interpretation. so i chose a toilet as it is another way of disposing of something and also i liked the symmetry in the photo it would create.
