Looking through articles and asking a couple of people about their experiences dealing with the Stereotypes around Mental illness and disorders. The main theme of isolation fear, abandonment was brought up. The areas around where I live are perfect for taking the images that I want to take. Scratched and scraped, run down and left to their own destruction. The first images I experimented with Studio work.
Awesome Lizzie, I love this image, I feel trapped in this photo, because it is moving so fast, it makes you feel a little crazy, scared and lost. You should try out some images of walking through the forest, mental illnesses often lead the person to be lost and scared and that would be the purpose of using the forest.
ReplyDeleteSome great suggestions Gemma, and well spoken. Lizzy I really appreciate the darkness of this image and having to search for the figure. The movement makes us nervous, agitated. I think the response from the viewer will be an important aspect of your work. Think of how to measure this and how you could incorporate this into your work.
