Inspirations and Ideas

I like the artwork of Meret Oppenheimer. I find the way she turns things into something else and create such texture to small objects inspiring.

Growing up as a Monty Python fan, I liked how Terry Gilliam made the obscure in his animations.

My project is about rebirth in nature. I’m going to have a pair of crocks having grass and plants growing through them, a bottle with stones, mud and grass inside, and a glove with leaves growing out of it.

 

America in Contrast: Final Pieces

As said before, this is to show Donald Trump how other people would see him if they had the eyes of Donald Trump.

He hates Mexicans, hence the chips; he hates women, and made a comment about a women bleeding, hence why his head is on a women’s body and his mouth is bleeding; and he goes on about China stealing jobs, so for comic effect, I put Chairman ‘s head on the body’s breasts.

This is showing Boston, Massachusetts during the time the Boston Tea Party throw the tea belonging to the British into the sea, while seeing the same tea fly out of the river in Boston, Lincolnshire, to show that the Tea Party didn’t stop the British from enjoying their tea.

The last is a shot from the history series ‘Roots’, in which I have put Barack Obama’s head on the slave and David Cameron’s head on the slave owner, to highlight the contrasting family histories of the two leaders of the two allied countries.

America in contrast

I’ve got at least two ideas for this at the minuet, Donald Trump’s head on a woman’s body with blood coming out of his mouth and tortilla chips all over the body.

I also have an idea of having one picture made of a photoshopped picture of Obama as a slave and a photoshopped picture of David Cameron as a slave owner, both cut in half and put together.

Another idea at the moment is making a collage of Boston, Lincolnshire and Boston, Massachusetts to make a contest between Britain and America, as with the 2nd idea with the two countries’ leaders’ family history.

My research so far, for my Donald Trump picture (Which I’m thinking of calling ‘Showing Donald Trump how Donald Trump looks to everyone else if they had the eyes of Donald Trump’) I’ve been looking at several pictures of women posing.

Taken from the Mothercare Winter 2015 caterlouge, and can be worked from really well, for Donald Trump has not only been criticised  for saying certain comments about women(http://edition.cnn.com/2015/08/09/politics/donald-trump-blood-comment-response-2016-sotu/), but also his Pro-life stance.

Taken from the 20th September 2015 issue of Style, the black and white can be a positive for Donald Trump is seen living in the past, and in many people’s eyes, loves himself so much, that he probably would touch himself up naked.
