Working to a large scales encourages me to experiment with materials more and help compositionally with putting the different element together. Print and collage looks like a really good route to go down so far and I am enjoying making the pieces.
The red circle is a re occurring symbol that I have used. I wanted to used it as a symbol of power but I wanted it to look evil and sinister so that is why it is in the colour red and has triangle spikes around it .
This piece above works okay, I like the join together of the skull and the nose and mouth of empress cixi face, and how the body moves down to show the hands and feet. However I am really not sure about the gold mixed with the black and red.
This next design could work quite well as a stamp but I think that it needs more development with in the circle and I think it would look better on a black background. However I really like the distorted , broken face I think that it has the potential to give an interesting message.
This is a bit simpler then the others but I like that boldness of the design and the red background. the sliver combined well too with the other colours as well. the spikes also feature.
However I really need to pin point what I am trying to say and portray about empress cixi , I am really struggling with it. But I think by going back and further looking at my research I might be able to find several things to say.
