Practical:
- Why backgrounds? Putting the torture tools in their context takes away from the essence of the practical outcome...
I didn't really think about this before because I got so caught up trying to design compositions that would allow me to be really detailed, and that would incorporate loads of different elements. I was hoping this would emulate the style of the Holbein cut, creating depth and using different mark making techniques to describe varying textures..
I was worried about not developing my compositional skills, and having work that always appears as floating images or vignettes.
After discussing this in the tutorial, I realised that the whole point of the images is that the focus is on the objects themselves. They are supposed to appear interesting, intriguing and beautiful. If they're presented on a table in a dungeon, it takes away from this. People will see the dungeon first, and then consider the object in its normal context. The point was to take the object out of context and present it as a well-crafted illustration.
In future, I will create illustrations that incorporate more elements. But for this project it isn't the best or most relevant outcome.
- Get lino cuts started & finished for before xmas, for printing after xmas break
