For this project i am question "what is wonderland?" and how people interpret it. so far i have experiemented with the idea that wonderland can be any where. lewis carrol says its down a rabbit hole, i say its hidden in a can of beans. i like the idea of having wonderland and reality closely linked and sort of merging into one. at the moment i am creating advertisments of peoples wonderlands and what wonderland means to them. i have decided to take on two clients (nigel and beckie) and illustrate their wonderland, though fabric, 3d matterials and digital work.
nigel told me that his idea of wonderland is a quite place ( near the sea or forrests ect) some where, where he can be by himself, more of a state of mind really. so i have decced to look into the sea and the sea bed, as really there is no quiter place than down there.
these are my first experiments for nigels wonderland.
I made this scene out of sand, pieces od moss and rocks. the figure is suppose to be standing up, but that didn't work too well. however still just a tester. once i get this image of photoshop, i will tidy is up and make it look like its under the sea. the figure is't self is made out of plasticine, it was hard to create such a small figure, however i needed it that size to make everything look in proportion.
this is my favourite one, because i think it looks the most realistic. i collected some interesting shells last year, and this was one of the large ones. i like the texture on this one an the fact that the shell s sort of erroded. it was easier this time to make the figure sit down as well. plus it could be and underground cave that nigel lives in \( in his mind of course)
These were some smaller shells that i placed him on. i quite like it as an image. just anthother try out really
