Christy Nigh - week 4

This week was a little less conceptual (at least as less conceptual as I am capable of) and far more making oriented. I originally started out my piece in reaction to a specific scene in "Roma Citta Aperta". After picking the angle of the scene, and the concept of cramped tunnel-like spaces as aspects to focus on, I arrived fairly quickly at what I wanted to make in reaction to that. My plan was originally to take the viewer through layers of space in the form of drawings that represented the space in different ways. What I actually ended up creating was a drawing that still takes the viewer through a space, but in a more literal way. By using a time lapse drawing technique (meaning I made a drawing, then slowly transformed it by making changes to it, while taking a picture at each step). Then I strung the pictures together to create a movie-like presentation, which I added a soundtrack to.

I am pretty excited to see the reviews it gets. This project has been an exploration of a different way of using a familiar media, so I although I learned a lot from the process itself, I expect to learn a lot from how effectively it communicates the ideas that I started with.
