Failed Love
This project focused on the creation of two ‘gentle giant’ characters mourning their failed love, centred specifically around the third stanza of Carol Ann Duffy’s poem Mean Time, which I decided to revisit. These images include an A3 felt pen and watercolour piece; an A6 paper cut drawing using watercolour sprinkled with salt; and an A2 digitally drawn image which used fineliner as its starting point. These designs characterise this giant and his counterpart’s narrative as one defined by deep anguish, primarily using a blue toned palette and downcast facial features to communicate the melancholic heartbreak of the once couple.
