Wrecked Room


Finally, for the three artist recreations, I've looked at Stephen Lenthall's work and have attempted to incorporate certain elements, such as stairs and decorations, i.e tables and stools. Whilst my ability is lacking, I have simply taken strips of paper and created folds on either length-wise edges to make them stand up. For the table to the right-hand side of the first image, which also appears in the middle of the space in the images below, I made one fold further toward the centre than the other as to create a slanted desk, much like that of an illustrator's / artist's back in the day.


 As a means of contrasting the tone of these images in terms of the scattered paper and furniture acting as a minimalist, almost dystopian, display, I've decided to keep the warm glow that these images irradiate when I took them. I had originally intended to take them into Photoshop and convert them into black-and-white before tinkering with the levels, exposure and offset, much like my Goldsworthy recreation, although I chose to keep it the exact same as when I first took it.


 For my final piece, I will be merging these three styles together in a way I will have to carefully plan; I will be making visual notes of my plan and will annotate them and post them onto a separate post before my final piece is created and uploaded here too. What I intend to create is a physical paper environment—Lenthall—with a partial element of torn paper in some pattern—Goldsworthy—and then adjusted in Photoshop, drawn over digitally in FireAlpaca and then finally adjusted again in PaintNET.
