The idea of this project was to represent change. I personally do not like change so in order to represent this fear I decided to use the idea of light and dark where the dark represents this change.
I started by painting a wooden background black the represent the dark.
While the paint was drying, I made a candle out of clay to make a light source.
While letting the clay dry, i took black magazine pictures and made a collage to show the light source. I used gloss medium to create the collage.
In the light areas, I placed things that are comforting like a house, palm tree, and other things that are comforting. As the light grows dim I placed things that arent as comforting like the spider and the deranged chicken.
After completing the collage I used the saw to cut out a bite mark in one of the wooden walls. I then carved claw marks into the wall to represent the fear of change.
I then put the candle in the fire pit burning the clay and then i painted over parts i didn't want to look burned.
