As I was reading the newspaper for todays article I noticed a page with a man saying how he eats red meat everyday, and the benefits of this. Underneath this article there was a smaller Coolum about how being vegan has a 22% chance of heart disease and where meat eaters are at higher risk. Turning a page there was a advert for chicken at cheap prices. I decided to just start making objects with wire straight instead of planing. With wire and tape I attempted to make a heart, but didn’t like the final outcome. With seeing the Cut and Paste Exhibition yesterday I wanted to do collage so I painted the background green, since the colour is associated with health and yet disease. I wanted to show the irony and the ways of consumerism in the media when it comes to being healthy and what to eat. I was going to attach the heart I made to the centre of the collage piece, but decided against it and instead painted a pepper, but it could also possibly be a heart. This would have to be my most least liked piece I’ve done this week. I don’t like the colours or composition, and I feel it would of been better if I made a larger heart and collaged on the heart instead of just a piece of paper. It was however good to go out of my comfort zone from planning and just creating, I do feel it helped me to experiment more open minded and would like to start working that way more often.
