We have decided to do all collaborative pieces as this is a great opportunity to create and display joint work.
Distort each piece in a different way eg. wrapping body in clingfilm. Split painting in two. Use perspex to layer. Use a photograph and take turns to paint over it - retake control of our work. Use perspex to do so and maybe use as the actual painting, remove the background image. Using a photocopier to distort the body - Jenny Saville esque. Even the original photos alone are distorted through the movement.
Try to find a way to include all aspects of the body - do not want to be perceived in the wrong way so need to avoid to many feministic ideas (eg. not using all females, not using typically female attributes - breasts). To incorporate all of the body - photograph/photocopy each bit of the body and try to piece together, a bit like Frankenstein. Unnerving and disturbing. Highlights ideas such as distortion as well as trying to build the perfect human and the negativity surrounding this idea of the perfect.
Try to remove ourse3lves from it. Not about us but about the things that we are addressing affect everyone.
Need to look at space and see how many pieces we may need to create to fill it.
Main meaning of my work - using physical distortion as a metaphor for the way society distorts us.
Colours I use in my work - pinks and blues, quite unusual, not necessarily realistic colours, Elle works very realistically.
Private view - maybe business cards to give away.
Elle has sent me a PDF file that she recommends I read as it could be beneficial to both our ideas.
Society is the modern sublime. How society and the sublime link - something to link both our works.
Make lots of work then choose our favourites - more curatorial.
These are images of the walls of the space we plan to hold our exhibition in. There is quite a lot of wall space and we estimate we will need 5 or 6 large scale pieces to fill it.
