Representation and Memories – Choosing Medium and Colour Palate

after the workshop, I wanted to think carefully about the medium and colours I wanted to create my work in. I think when depicting memories and senses choice of colour is very important, as it helps create atmosphere and memory and sense association. As it was a memory from childhood I wanted to illustrate, I thought about the medium a child would conventially use to draw – this for me was crayon, I also incorporated this into my mark making, the marks turned out quite abstract as I didn’t want to create anything that had to much of a refined sense of pictorial quality, as I wanted to emphasise the fact that this was a hazy memory from childhood.
