Week 1 Tues 26/02/19
From the list of given concepts, three where chosen: light/dark, dream/certainty, interior/exterior. I mainly want to explore the theme of dream/certainty as I am intrigued by the nature of dream: a visualization/introduction of one’s subconscious mind. In that dreams often interfere among themselves, they also have the potential to interfere with the life of an individual. They are commonly described as being random but I think their randomness creates a rather interesting connection with one another as we tend to seek answers for the unknown and connect up the fragments dreams leave behind. I am hoping to further this idea by incorporating the other concepts chosen into my drawing.
IDEA 1: Stages of dream
- Possible pattern: brainwaves to represent sleep, squares and circles to represent reality and dream.
- Exploring how each stage interferes with another.
- Qualities of dream: creative & imaginative – allows you to explore things you might not be able to experience in real life.
- Often evokes emotion such as excitement, fear, sadness
- Innermost state = nostalgic, sense of belonging. Almost connecting back to reality. (Idea based on personal experience)
- Perhaps drawing of the different part of the house – getting deeper and more private as the dream progresses.
I have also chosen below works by different artists as a reference to further develop my ideas.
