Task 13 - 18

Task 13 - Topic Development

First Artist Model: Keith Carter
In Keith Carters work his use of the vignette frame creates a mood which inspired me to use the vignette to create a sense of entrapment - the vignette creates the frame of binoculars which creates a feeling of being watched.

Second Artist Model: Kara Walker
From Kara Walkers work her use of silhouettes of people with no detail and her use of layering inspired me to use these conventions from her work. The idea of layering helped me create a sense of trapped as many layers can create the feeling of no escape for the birds. Silhouettes with no detail helped me show the motivations of the birds are unclear and are left open.
