[collage made from Francis Bacon's paintings]
I feel that working into images by drawing or painting into them can produce shapes and silhouettes I might have not previously thought of. So, keeping in theme with my words I decided to 'mark' two of Francis Bacon's paintings through cutting them up, biro-ing into them and painting in lines. I wanted to connect the two so I used the shapes and transferred one into the other. I feel this worked really well and turned out to be quite an exciting piece. This way of collaging could turn into a beautiful print or embroidery. Over the weekend I will design a few prints for some digital printing that I will carry out on tuesday.
I want to design an embroidery pattern, but I do not have the software at home, meaning I will have to wait until I return next week to have a tutorial with the machine. Something I have also been considering was to use either the above collage or one of my word illustration pieces from the first day and transfer it into a laser-cutting file. This layered with prints and embroidery could create some really interesting textiles.
The colours in this collage will become my main colour palette. The orange and blue work in great contrast, chaotic with a hint of sadness; summing up Francis Bacon. I may tone down the colours so it is much less obviously Bacon; using hues of purple-blue's and yellow-oranges.
