(Q1)

T.V EYE ON YOU, 2010

I chose this work because, by just using found materials in my garage, I was able to create a television set with cardboard boxes,glue,cellotape,glass,an old pair of rabbit ears,my bedside lamp,a couple of card board cut outs and the only thing I needed to purchase was the coloured cellophane. I was really struck with the coloured lighting inside and outside of the t.v set. As for the reflection on the table the process of the surface light, gave it a life of rainbow colour all of its own. With only one light source your eyes are tricked into seeing two spheres of light inside the T.V one could be the Sun and the second Mars, with its red tint. Could I have unwittingly encased a small section of our solar system?

"JUST HANGING AROUND"

This one stands out for me due to its subject matter, with the Klu Klux Klan members with hooks jabbed into the backs of their heads, but there is no blood also their stature is still erect this shows how they are too Dumb to feel pain and to Dumb to realise the situation they are in.I think the colour of this work does it alot of justice the light blue and the black and white tiles seem to be in harmoney .The word rasicim fascinates me and everything that is associated with it, re the Klan.

"CHAIN CHAINEY"

The original work was pencil shading on paper, it took a while but it became a work of love.The technique of using the same content over four times and the perspective of different colour variations give this work a real texture,volume and weight.I really appreciate the colours that I made the dark green,the reddish pink,the aqua blue and then the navy blue.In all a complete work.

(Q3)[A]”T.V EYE ON YOU” the word REFLECTION is relevant to this work beacause the reflection of the colours and the spheres are pertinant to the whole piece .for example the reflection of colours on the table.on the sides everywhere.

[B] TECHNIQUE is the word Ive used in the “CHAIN CHAINRY” work using the same picture not once but four times joinrd together and the only diffrence is the colours being used.

[c] RACISM used in the work “JUST HANGING AROUND” is relevant due to the content being three Klu Klux Kan.The KKK is a white supremacy group established in Pulaski, Tennessee in May 1866.
