Statement of Intent for Final Project: Axiom


We are faced with decisions that affect our lives each day that could determine who we are and the disposition of ourselves. We are evil, we are spiritual, we are apathetic, we are conceded, and we are good. I want to convey this within a color photograph that I will take within the next couple of days. I do not know how I will go about this or care to know, but this will be a serendipitous event in which I will use to portray this idea of humanity at its basis. The above image is an example that I have taken earlier this semester.

My process in which I will execute this project will be in printing and painting. I will use a gradient mask on the photo in which it will fade away into a white background. Then I will print this photo out onto a canvas paper that I can paint on, and then I will manually paint the rest of the photograph in with acrylics. The half that I will paint will be the axiom of humanity.
