In the last week I have been
researching further into symbolism and story-telling within Aboriginal artwork.
I have discovered online a series of images that could be used to decode the
stories within the work. Using this, I can begin to develop my own experiences
into stories. I have been experimenting further with drawing to develop the
composition of my samples, into my own form of abstraction. I really like how
without the code my drawings and samples will look meaningless yet to me there
is a great deal of personal relevance.
This mark represents a journey line and the circles represent significant stops.
A walk I went along the pancake rocks in New Zealand.
This represents an evening I
spent making a bonfire on the beach with some friends. The circle with lines
coming out represents a meeting point. Circular lines in the middle represent
smoke. U/N shapes represent women/men. Contour lines on the outside show the
shape of the land around.
Composition developments from my initial sketch.
I like the shape and form that is
beginning to take place. Next I want to move onto developing my own code that
will run consistently throughout so that my journey will be documented. I can
see myself looking to 3D and investigating alternative grounds for embroidery.
