Worked this week on transferring the things that I have collected and condensing them into a final form. Arrived at said final form and proceeded to begin work on pieces for presentation.
I have condensed the idea of bursting into a figure, which was derived from a kind of blobby form that came out of my observations and brainstorming. I am placing this figure in narrative settings that convey the idea of being out of place, or being odd. My hope is that this will convey the kind of psychological duress derived from a feeling of being on the outside. This feeling can build up in someone over time, and can lead to an emotional overload i.e. bursting. This refers to the idea of bursting with emotion, stress, etc.
My work as it stands now scratches the surface of this idea, and I hope to expand on it as much as possible before thursday, time willing. Right now, the work is overtly cartoony and appears humorous, and I want to keep playing with this juxtaposition to try and convey the message I'm trying to send.
