Thea Schrack - Art and Meaning

"Blue Willow" Photography with encaustic wax painting,
23x23 inches.

"What is the meaning of doing art for you?"
"For me creating art is an ongoing investigation
and connection to our natural world. To be in
the presence of that mystery on a daily basis is
what I live and thrive on."

Proposal

Proposal

Aims and objects:

For this project we are required to use lomo camera to take photos. And I am thinking to take pictures of Wellington’s scene, which I want to create the feeling of “the windy city in my eyes”.

Methodology:

Using Holga camera, and taking with black and white, and I want to the output photos become blurry so I will take with unstable hands.

Rationale:

Personally think this city actually gives me the feeling of blurry, darkness. Therefore, I am trying to focus on this kind of feeling to take the photos.

Output:

There will be 5 black and white images and for the remediation I am going to use the wax to cover the negatives to make it unclearly.

Final images

Reflection

Proposal

Aims and Objectives:

I was asking four people questions about what the necessity and important things for them of their everyday life. And then they give me the answer of toys, money, girlfriend, and cigarett. Then I was thinking to take the reflection of the objects that they actually interested in through the eyeballs to create the feelings of their favorite and important things to them which reflecting into their eyes.

Methodology:

Using micro-lens to focus on the eyeballs, and using spot light to focus on the objects to reflect them through eyeballs. Tripod to hold the camera then.

Rationale:

I found it quite interesting to reflect the things people are interested in of their everyday life, it just like if the objects are the favorite  or really important things to you, and your eyes will full of that thing. And also you can analyze what kind of character they actually got through what they feel important. 

Output:

The output should be 4 images and one physical hand in object will decided then.

Evaluation:

I am satisfied with the final output because it gives the feeling of how and what is the important and necessary things of one person’s daily life. And it also gives the data of different people has different nature in their life,  through the things they are interested in sometimes we can tell the what kind of character they have, It took me a long time to learn how to use micro-lens. Also I understand how to take reflection of objects through eyeballs like using spot light to focus on the objects which make its flashing, and then people are staring at it behind the light until the eyeballs have the reflection.
