Experimenting

I experimented with various materials and processes focusing on one shape (the inside shape of a pineapple) There is something really interesting about the expressive acrylic painting in the middle. I like how the ambiguity gives it a real sense of interest. Not being able to work out exactly what it is makes the viewer really focus on the image and come up with multiple interpretations. This is then intensified further with my rubbing experiment. The fussy, fading effect makes you really question what is going on and immediately changes the whole mood. Also what is quite interesting is the fact the shape is becoming more and more mechanical looking and man made, when in actual fact the subject is very much natural. Maybe this would be interesting as a picture book? each page with the same image but each with a different interpretation, different material or process used, so more like a visual language take on it, experimenting with line, tone colour and shape. I do feel though if i am doing a book on pineapples, i should have something which has a slight inkling that it is a pineapple. This could be the first drawing perhaps? This is one idea but i should look at alternative ideas.
