From using the comments from instagram, I wanted to be a little more personal with my text. I still wanted to go with the idea of using words and phrases to create an image. I reverted back to Psychogeography again but this time using a technique that was introduced in Becky & Jason’s section of the rotation. Which is Automatic Writing. The first time doing it was difficult but I thought that it was the most authentic way to get the words/phrases that I wanted to use in my work.

From the photomontage, I was kind of at a stand still. Like I couldn’t move on.I decided that I was going to take a previous brief from Psychogeography. Specifically, Shellie’s part of the project we I had to create an image using a word from the writing element of the project.

From that brief, I took the comments of people calling me “sweet” and making a visual presentation of that. Hence the lollipop. I wanted to continue the idea by using a comment “loud & confident” and creating and image of an air horn.

From the initial ideas, I went on to doing photomontages that are responses to the comments left by people. This came from Tyler Spangler because besides looking at typography he also does collages and photomontages.

Had a conversion with Anthony and Susanne about the direction of where this project was going. At this moment in time I had about two artist to show. Anthony gave a bunch of factors to focus on in my work based on the artists that I presented to them. Which were Luke Brickett & Tyler Spangler.

This piece was inspired by Spangler’s work. I wanted to incorporate the focus to be on the phrase.I did other colours just to see the variation of the piece. Used an effect that Tyler likes to feature in his work where the word or phrase becomes more distorted towards the end.

To start “Becoming” off I decided to look at one of the prompt questions, “take a good look at yourself”. Instead of going do the more predictable route I went for a version of myself that I wanted to explore. I went for my Instagram and how I presented myself on there.
