In the latest version of my work, the defiant female image suggests a feminist undercurrent, yet this idea is watered down by the repetition. All the female images in their uniform colour, brown, tan, grey, green, black, white... blend together to create a collection of defiant yet bland figures, united in failing to convey their point, defeating themselves through mass uniformity. While the red image stands out at us, the fierce hue clashes against the passive tones of the others, and although the stare is the same, it seems to carry more weight in comparison. The red image defies the uniformity and self condemnation of the other nameless faces to create it's own identity.
I feel as though I'm closing in on a final idea with this image. Although further trials and tinkering is in order to establish suitable colour and presentation formats. I am currently waiting on a semi-transparent sticker print which I intend to mount on a window or on a sheet of perspex (for ease of re-location). I also intend to re-colour the present image to establish some uniformity with the colours, as currently, not all the browns are the same brown and not all the greens are the same green. I want to see what the image would look like with less colours.
