I decide to change my idea for the final large scale image as I felt it wasn't communicating the right message. The linocut of the mother was the wrong medium to use. It was too bold and harsh, also it was really hard to blend this into the background. This similarly to the print was too bold and needed toning down , it was all too crowded as well and composition wasn't clear.
Instead of creating new images, I thought it would make much more sense to just use the images already made in my sketchbook. The ink sketches all work together because they are in the same medium. This also contains that spontaneity and shows through the process that fed into them. They also help to show the subject in a sensitive light. The people, for example, are painted so you cannot see their faces but each still has individuality. They are very figurative and with the absence of faces keeps the individual's identity hidden. It keeps aswell the anthropological and reportage approach. Using small motifs and sections of drawings makes it for me to build a larger image. Also if any new parts need to be added they will be quick to create. The plan is for the image to still be A2 size but
still thinking about how to present this.
