Photography that involves hiding the face/idenity of the sitter.
The Two serises involving makes have a sureal creepy look to them, what does not fit my personal work as i am going for a more cute odd look to them, however their work relates to the concept of hidden idenity that i am workign with as well as my idea of hidding the face with masks.

The Mask Series: Inge Morath & Saul Steinberg
This serise by Morath and Steinberg involves a serise of photographs, mostly instead of a home, where the sitters are wearing a paperbag to cover their face.
I like the courise, odd look of the masks he uses, having a funny element to it while also being unselttling. His work relates to my idea of photofrathing people weraing masks to hide their indeity.

Locarpet art
Locarpet art has done a serise of surreal ceramic maskes, these masks remain white with some of them having mulitple eye where each eye is meant to be giving a surreal, creepy look to then.
This masks also link to my idea of using masks to hide idenity, they have a more human form to them like the masks i plan to use while also havign an unsettling look to them.

Ghost sheet photography
Ghost sheet photograthy is a style of photograthy that is populare around halloween type. It confists of photofrathing people with a white sheet over them, similar to the way kids do for haloween, these images are normally taken in woodlands and have a more dark look to them. I would like to expierment with the more 'tadional' way of taking the photos as well as more playful colourful ways.

Putting up show day 1 3rd June 2024 Today was my first official day of putting up the show, I wanted to focus on cleaning out my area, adding the mesh and fabric to the frame and putting the frame up. What I was able to complete  I realise that I put the mesh on the wrong way, but j was able to fix the issue buy flipping the frame before I put tje fabric on. My original plan of having the hook things for the books will not work, due the the fabric being in the way. I chose to do tie fabric tight and didn't realise that I wouldn't be able to put the wire between the fabric and the frame. I plan to put the hook things on the under part of the frame or on the inside edge I don't like the sag that is happening to the mesh, I plan to sew it to the fabric once the beads have been hung, so that it will have a more clean and finish look to it Before I headed home, I did some lose draping of the fabric so that I have a bett...

 Project proposal  My plan for this project, is to explore a made-up counterculture around the idea of taking back control/identity from those who are in authority. This counterculture can be seen in both a negative and positive late, as the people reclaiming their power have been labelled as criminals. On one hand, this could be viewed as in a negative way as the people/criminals deserve the punishment they received, making it seen as unjustified for them to take back their freedom. But it can also be seen as everyday people reclaiming what was unjustly taken from them—those who were wrongfully accused, committed crimes out of necessity to survive, or became victims of their circumstances, not intending harm or feeling remorse for what they did, or simply making a mistake. I will be taking inspiration from Japanese criminal tattoos from the Edo period, which were used to mark someone as a criminal. I'll also be looking at traditional Japanese tattooing, as this form of tattoo...

Looking at two early works of Modernism (600-700 word) - 856 words total In this essay, I will examine two early Modernist movements, Fauvism and Cubism. Although both of these movements involve abstraction, they each emphasize different elements within their paintings. Fauvism focuses on colour while Cubism has a focus on form. Modernism is a global movement within the art community that emerged around the 20th century. Modernism is defined by artists who broke away from patron demands, forming the Avant-Garde. Modernism artists creates art based on their own vision, challenging social expectations and exploring new ideas and techniques that was once unachievable. The Industrial Revolution played crucial a role in this shift, as cheaper materials, like synthetic dyes, made it easier for artists to produce their work independently of patron support. Though this, artists began to push the boundaries on what is 'good' and 'bad' art, as well as rejecting old traditions. Fa...
