I went out and attempted to take some photos of the reflections that I tried to capture but it didn't go the way I wanted it to go due to the lack of detail and some of the reflections out blurry. John Colan suggested that I should try to doodle more. The doodles I do have, they are all quite repetitive and not much imaginative drawing. Meaning I don't really doodle anything other than typefaces and faces (typical), but even then it is just me trying to copy the type I find online. I face I draw all the time from memory, each time I draw a "new" face it ends up looking similar to the last one I drew.
Anyways, I somehow decided I should trace or copy some of the lines and shapes I see in the mask. I ended up tracing the same group of lines over and over, however, each time I had to shift the image underneath the tracing paper it looked different every time.
the tracings are beautiful. we saw that last week. hope you can find a way to use them.
ReplyDeletewe talked about the way facial recognition works. the fact that each time you draw, it's different, suggests that such "recognition" isn't so simple.
because a person is not so simple.
Edkins in Face Politics was good on this.
it may not matter that the reflections are out of focus. work with that, rather than complain about it. again it can relate to identity. are we all so focussed?
