Change of plan



Due to time constraints and it now taking a lot longer to think of ways to fill the image , I have decide to come up with a series of smaller prints. The prints will contain small selected sections of the large image I have already made. In addition these will be screen printed using single colour screen prints onto calico canvas fabric and made into individual wall hangings. The reason for changing to screen print is that digital print has a three day turn around and if I was to print the large image I would be disappointed with the outcome.  I had already reduced the size down but I felt that it was still too crowed and the different elements/ sections of the image needed more space in order to be seen and investigated properly. For example the camp when the image would be printed is far to small and would be lost. The people as well because they are small but an integral part they risk this too. The overall image is not well balanced. The boldness of the sea/river takes away value from the rest of the image and could have been controlled better. 
Instead of having a massive image it makes much more sense for it to be broken down and made into a series. That way the differnt images can been seen clearly and can work as indivual prints or as a series. They would also fit well into an exhabition enviroment. Fitting in with making the work exsist away from where it was created and placed in the outside world for an external audiance. Example below of potenial print.
