Reflection

Reflection is 1) the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it, 2) serious thought or consideration. When presented with the second definition I was inspired to 'seriously think or consider' what reflections means to me as an individual and the term 'introspection' cropped up a few times in conversations with teachers, other pupils and anyone i spoke to about the title 'reflection' 

As a starting point I decided to create a graphite drawing from an imagine of a friend. The facial expression suggests a thoughtfulness and introspection.  With this in mind I decided to mix the harsh graphite drawings with text; just a simple definition of 'intropection'. 

I then photocopied this drawing and put stuck it over an almost galactic looking background. This was the start of my mixing black and white images with bold colour, and combining text; a formula I have developed throughout my project. 

While still in the process of initial experimentation I decided to take a leaf out of the sex pistols book and play around with the photocopier. By changing the colour setting on the machine I created different brightly coloured version of this drawing and the outcome was a Warhol-like print. 

Additionally, using different media I did quick drawings over coloured background from the same image.
