What sparked my inspiration for my initial concept was frost encasing an object in the winter and from there the concept of something being trapped or captured intrigued me.
After doing a mind map on Trap/Capture and conversations in my tutorial I discovered that rather than just looking at things being encased and growing or being trapped and suffering, I needed to narrow my focus on one or the other in order to move my development of ideas forward.
I chose to go with trapping and suffering, being trapped in a moment. The concept of this led me to think about key words, the idea of struggle, constraint, confinement, entanglement, being bound by, restriction, been forced against ones will, stuck in a moment and repetition all intrigued me. Which moved my ideas forward to how I would translate my found imagery and research into my sketch book. After much thought I decided to focus on a specific section of the research images I have collected. To start my initial drawings I considered pulling out the strongest fluid patterns to the forefront of colour pallet within the images to show the struggle of entrapment. Hopefully with the media and marks I make I can bring the emotion of trapping and suffering to the pages of my sketch book.
I want to spend this week working on pulling together ideas, colours and my concept. Exploring the many paths and possibilities that my concept can take me on so that I am not too restricted and find the right path for my work. I found that my Pinterest has been a good tool for this.
