Illustration Project - experimentation with techniques/materials.
Imagery relating to a previous story that I created (featuring a mother innocently baking a strawberry cake for her young daughter; however she is oblivious to the fact that her daughter has been in a fatal car accident). I wanted to contrast the two juxtaposing elements of a content mother and injured daughter whilst also linking the two, e.g. runny red ink used to symbolize both juice from the strawberries, but also the fluidity of blood. I used strawberries as they are surprisingly fragile and delicate, much like the young girl in the story. Additionally, I wanted to experiment with the monoprinting technique as I felt the paint reflected the uneven, bumpy surface of strawberries.
