Image process for cuff bracelet mural.
I have been looking for ideas for stencils or imagery for this piece for the mural as previously discussed.
By the mural i mean what a mural is to graffitti however translated into jewelry.
The mural is basically made up of six panels of jewelry, when placed together create an image, but when functioning as jewelry are individual pieces in their own right.
I decided to approach the technique of using a stencil.
I looked at various images online and in books, that i could utilise as stencils, trying different approaches to generate images. I captured a few stills , freeze framing imagery from some of my favorite films.
The image below is a freeze frame from" Waltz with Bashir". The shadow lines seemed to simplistic from this particular image so i then tried creating some of my own compositions from drawings.
I wasn't sure which direction to move in so i just experimented with different drawings.
I experimented with the idea of a foetus with a stylised rendition of my logo.
I realised their were so many different directions i could move in. I wasn't set on any particular image but i wanted it to be bold enough as a unified concept, and individually striking when worn as a singular piece on the body.
I wondered if mabee i shouldnt rather play around with words.
I thought if i used a word like "PIECE" that it would talk about the segmentation of individual units, but felt mabee it might appear visually boring.
During the course of this process i had been doing alot of research into different street artists work, and the global argument is a debate of weather its art or vandalism. On the other hand Mass debate, sounds like masturbate, so i guess it would be left up to the viewer to interpret its meaning in any way he or she felt fit.
After all these different options, and technical consideration, i was still left in an abyss that drew to no conclusions in terms of the image i was going to use.
What was i going to use and why? were the impending questions that seemed to be slowing down this free style process.
