The brief was to create a visual representation of a journey using any creative medium. I took this opportunity to represent my thoughts and impressions of the suburban town, experimenting with digital and physical elements to create meaningful visual imagery.
I used my own sourced photographic images which were then shredded , burnt and dampened, and then digitally distorted through image editing software.
This resulted in a grungy and misshaped visual style that is chaotic and full of emotion which illustrates my state of mind from visiting the street.
This project taught me the importance of embracing unconventional techniques and stepping outside my comfort zone. The process of physically and digitally altering my images taught me to let go of control and embrace unpredictability in the creative process. I also gained a deeper understanding of how to merge mediums to convey complex emotions. Reflecting on the project, I realise that this experience has expanded my creative boundaries and allowed me to express abstract ideas better through visual art.
Full Circle | 2020
Full Circle is a project that holds personal significance for me, as it explores the suburban town of Ferny Grove in Brisbane, Australia, where I spent the first six years of my childhood. Upon returning to the area, I was flooded with memories and experiences from that time.
I used the Visual Inquiry 2 module during my university course as an opportunity to document these reflections, ultimately creating a physical book to represent my thoughts and observations from this journey.
