I feel like I have reached a slight end point with what I am doing - at the moment I feel like I have just been repeatedly doing the some thing over and over and I have almost forgotten what I was trying to communicate in the first place. I need to work out what this was and find a new direction to head in now.
What have I been trying to communicate?
- So far I have looked at this idea of being trapped within the bell jar of her madness
- I moved on from placing her whole body in a jar to specific body parts - less literal = to reflect her obsession with death self distraction
- Even though I have been using quite bold marks I have tried to maintain a beauty to my images by applying the quick quite delicately particularly in the face - to reflect the sort of beauty Plath saw in death - something which is not to be feared and that comes hand in hand with poetry.
How am I going to move forward/ what other ideas do I want to communicate?
- I would like to sill utilise it but I want to start expanding out of the jar format. I am starting to find it quite limiting. - collage
- I am going to move on to look at this idea of people sticking her back together again ('they stick me back together with glue' - Daddy poem) every time she tries to self distrust
- I would like to use the jars containing her different body parts in my collages (still reflect the same things - most importantly the idea that although she has been put back together again she is still trapped within her own terrifying world obsessed with death.)
- I might try experimenting with drawing and collage - maybe images of prosthetics?? - their attempt to reconstruct her and take her out of this world (through things like electric shock therapy - destroying what exists and replacing it with something artificial)
- I could try adding in a colour? - blue to match quink??
= a metaphor for them trying to mentally reconstruct her (electric shock therapy - erase memories etc.) - what remains of her is still trapped in this world
