The process videos below are a record of the development of my current idea.
I have started to experiment with combining a number of contradictory in meaning images and brutally blasting them with a powerful jet of water, while purposefully ripping and tearing the canvas under pressure.
Currently, the under image is almost ready for the next stage in the process of its development and progress. It is suspended somewhere between the forces of creation and destruction.
I am planning to continue with the overprinting and blasting at intermittent stages in order to increase effects of layering, juxtapositioning and, finally, stretching this piece to the edge of its physical integrity. The concept is to echo the learning from critical analysis of my primary sources and field research findings.
Life is based on one brutal and vulgar contrast between the opulence of the privileged and the suffering of the starving. Additionally, this powerful contradiction is charged with a broad range of high level emotions and feeling, such as jealousy, anger and a total lack of understanding of the reasons behind one’s faith.
