Joohee Yoon did this piece of work called 'Global farm yard rush'. I firstly love this piece of work because of the technique/process she appears to have used which is print. The texture and colour really help to elevate the distressing and dark mood. It also has a playful and experimental feel to it, and has similarity with my practise so far. The symbols she has used are simple and to the point. And this helps the images narrative. The crouched person looks starved and the tears lead down to the corn which is growing, so it is showing the farmers desperation is trying to make food grow. The Composition is well controlled too, as the hole image fits nicely in a rectangle shape and each element of the image connects or lead some how to the other, for example the tears leading you eye down to the corn.
The imagery is non realistic, she has used interesting shapes to make up elements like the human body and it's face. And I think that this also massively contributes to the mood of the image. Having the features in the face looking distorted and different adds a darker , scarier tone. Mixing that with the the obvious universal symbols makes for a clever image. I really need to apply this way of thinking into my work, in particular really going for it when it come to being playful when developing my work and thinking in more symbols , shapes and how could these relate to one another.
