My development of my final piece began with a large square board, which I chose as the background due to the contrast that It could have with the small highly textured figures that I've created.
One of the main aspects of creating this final outcome was that I couldn't allow it to become too overpowering, so that it lost it's effectiveness and the detail that I've put into each individual piece of texture.
This meant rearranging each model many times, until they were in a position that fitted the composition that I would like it to be compared to, the scatter of debris from a central area, from a bomb for example. This composition would fit into the character and style of my working throughout the personal investigation and would also fit the best possible way to use the materials that I have chosen to use effectively.
The use of spray paint, acrylic and ink negated the effectiveness of the individual pieces, so I had to find a balance by working back over the top of my expressive marks using white emulsion.
The inclusion of the barbed wire gave line in another direction, connecting the piece as well as breaking up its lateral lines. This inclusion greatly improved my composition.
This balance was difficult to achieve as well as having a strong composition in the shape of a square, so to improve on this I cut the board up so that It was no longer a plain square and reassembled more of a rectangle, which I then cut the border up, giving the piece rougher edges and a more irrational and random feel to the final outcome.
The picture below shows the final touches that I have made to the final outcome before my presentation to my class and peers this Friday 29/01/2016.
