The Shift

So I have changed my idea...AGAIN! I'm back to the kissing. I went back to the kissing because it was more interesting and fun than viruses. 


Kara Walker is an artist that has inspired me as she is a contemporary African American artist who explores race, gender, sexuality, violence and identity in her work. She is best known for her room-size tableaux of black cut-paper silhouettes. 

I am now working on silhouettes of the shape that is created during a kiss. I started off with small black silhouettes and as i went along i have made them bigger. i am aiming to have them like Kara Walker's room size silhouettes but I'm going to put a twist on it and add a hint of colour or different patterns just like 'The Kiss' by Gustav Klimt.

'The Kiss'

I love the shape of this kiss.

i found this piece of work very interesting. i love it!!
