Royal Purple and Wool Tops subvertion. Scan 1.

By creating the distautional/ illusional image, I hoped to gain people's untainted opinions of what they thought it was. By asking my peers, without previously telling them my intentions, to write down their initial thoughts about the piece, I gained some comments which I found really surprising. I gained comments such as "Purple fetus", "Bouquet of flowers", "Stormy clouds", "Blueberry pie" and "The brain". Having these as possible titles for the piece could be interesting in themselves. I feel this would create a further confusion and distortion, which is what I wish to achieve from my work.

After exhibiting my dyed wool tops at our courses Pop-Up Exhibition at St Martins Church, Colchester, on the 27th and 28th of March, I established that I prefer my work more two dimentional than three dimentional. By digitally scanning these balls of wool, I managed to create illusional images that I am proud of.

Certain colours and what they represent are interesting. I have begun to use a deep purple to convey wealth and royalty, as the colour royal purple suggests. To contrast this, wool tops have been used to convey the traditional association with the poor. By combining the two to gain balls of royal purple wool tops, I feel I have created what was inteded.
