Monochromatic Imagery on Wood

This past week I made sure to concentrate on feedback I received during our last all faculty critique in order to deliberately work towards exhibition quality standards. I produced a refined mock-up on a wooden frame that I painted black. The imagery I included made use of a very restricted color palette because I wanted to test out how this color choice would impact the piece as a whole. After incorporating video into this mock-up, I noticed that it will be important to make sure that the colors in the video aren't overly saturated and that the paintings and digital images aren't completely distinct in terms of hue and value.



In the video project I worked on this week, I incorporated the new poem that I wrote a few weeks back. I made sure to concentrate on pacing in this new recording and used the slower cadence to match the amount of time each image would remain on screen. After receiving feedback for this work, I realized that the wide range of color in the videos within this piece could be isolated into three distinct projects, which I think would be useful in order to better tie into the monochromatic feel of the paintings.
