DSDN144 "Time" Final Images

Here are my final images for the DSDN144 Project "Time"

For “En Process” my motivation was to capture the creative processes of an artist while making a composition such that we can identify particular techniques and processes used in the making of a final product, and the change in time over it’s creation – in this case, the graffiti-ing of the walls of my home.

For this concept I chose the art of graffiti because in the making of a graffiti piece there are often many layers in the building up of a finished piece, and often many mistakes that you would not usually see that are shown using this method.  Firstly a time-lapse is set up in front of a bare wall before any painting has been done, and is set to take photos as the piece is progressively finished. Then the photos are superimposed into one composition to effectively capture the artwork “en process”.

These images are an attempt to identify the techniques and the process of the artwork; the darker and fuller colours show where the piece was started, and both the final layers and the mistakes will appear as ghostly transparencies. They are such that the final images are not a snapshot of a final product, but more a hybridised reflection of the initial and final points, and the time and techniques used in between.
