From the feedback given to me at Group Crits, I decided to look more into information graphs the† have been used to show the covid-19 progression with infected, deaths and cases. I also wanted to look into the connection of the virus and royalty. As coronavirus connects with the word “crown” in latin.
I started off with painting a piece with a background and similar virus imagery like my previous painting. However I used the colours red and warm colours, as the news uses red for the virus.
When thinking about the restrictions, we listen to them and follow them and in a way we obey them, which is all surrounding the virus. Whatever the virus does we relate and in a way the virus controls us, like royalty would.
I then went on to do a photoshoot of me in a worshipping position and photoshopped the painting, so the painting is outline with me. I also looked at graphs showing the deaths in five days since getting the virus and the number in each countries.
I don’t really like the piece created, however I do feel I’m going down a good path in my project and looking forward to carrying it on.
