FMP: Jeremy Olson / Jananne Al- Ani / Richard Deacon

Jeremy Olson was the next artist I decied to look at due to my interest in geometric shapes, which my response to Dan Mountford reminded of. For me when going to a festival I feel as if we let go and almost show another side of ourselves - whilst dancing and enjoying ourself have no care in the world at who's looking, almost covered by the music - that same feeling I feel the work of Olson reflects, in his work you can still make out the persons face he scrambles but you don't really go to unscramble it - instead you enjoy and appreciate the scrambled version he creates using geometric shapes. So in response to his work using a primary picture I created my own geometric shape and 'scrambled' my models face. Once that was done I was experimenting with different effects and styles that could be applied to the image and came across one that made it look as if the face was a birds eye view of a landscape - which in response to an exhibition I visited by Jananne Al-Ani called "Excavations" I made the face a landscape/ map for the festival which I think would be creatively helpful if I was to shape/map out the festival.  I then continued to draw out my own geometric shapes as I had seen a particular sculpture in the Richard Deacon exhibition at the Tate Britain in Room 6 called 'Tropic 2007'
which I really liked in how you can turn a shape 3D.
