Language

As promised...my first Surface Research project. The assignment was to create a pop-up structure of a word and describe the word visually. Then we were to draw the structure as a still life. I used the word "language" for my pop-up and additionally made two pop up face silhouettes facing each other, as if communicating. On the faces I wrote the word "language" in 8 different languages in a pattern. I then covered the rest of the paper with this pattern in much smaller print. I don't think this piece was as successful as it could have been; the drawing could have been rendered better with more care and effort. I am disappointed that the drawing turned out as flat as it did. The only real depth is found in the left face and the L. But! I will brush this project off and continue on. Meanwhile, I might consider revisiting the idea of repetition of words to create a pattern in the future.
