She gave me some really good feedback. I realised that I need to think about what the meaning is behind the art, behind the design. Researching indepth what signs and signals mean to me? what am I trying to say, what message am I trying to get across to the viewer?
What influences me?
- A past project?
- memories
- controlling
- influencing
- urban scenes
- what drives me to make my art?
- making my own signs?
- controlling the city?
- observing the city?
what drives them to include semiotics? it may not look like my work or even be in the same context but the drive behind the work could be the same. I have emails for some of the artists I have looked at so Im going to email them and see if they wouldnt mind answering some questions on what influences them. It would be interesting to see if we have same topics in common.
Compare and contrast
I have some artists I've found whose work is similar to mine VISUALLY- the mark makings, the colours, the use of text. But I can compare and contrast the meanings behind the work to my own.
Making new signs
Nicola pointed out that I've started making my own signs, but what does i sign need to control people? a certain shape? colour? size? material? how does it communicate and make people do something they wouldnt do without the aid of that particular sign, what would happen if they didnt?
