and just told to create a visual response to it. As soon as the class was given the picture people started saying things like "she's pregnant" "she's hada miscarriage" "she thinks she's fat" "she's just had her period" basically, all woman type things.
To me the picture has a very feminine feel to it, but I also get a fear vibe. To me she looks worried. To me it looked like a young woman who's just found out she's pregnant and she's worried about it.
For me the best representation of fear are daemons, so then I had this idea of a daemon being inside her womb. Not in the sense that she actually has a little evil supernatural hellbeast inside her, but just as a way to represent her fear about being pregnant.
To represent this I drew a picture of an ultrasound where you can see a tiny daemon instead of a cherub like baby.
I'd like to redo it on white paper, draw in the soundwaves with black instead of use chalk on black paper, and print out the text instead of handwrite it. However,I think it's alright, to my mind there were far too many people who just drew the woman out onto A2 with something a bit changed about her.
I've since done what I wanted to fix this piece, and it now looks like this:
I had to make it portrait, so it's half the size of the original version, but because of the printed type and borders it looks alot more official. It also helps that the image quality decreased with each step it took to print it out, meaning it looks just as faded as a real one. I also think it looks a lot better with the soundwaves drawn in than the un-soundwave-bits coloured in in white.
