Using the keen eye you developed in Task 8, photograph shapes and forms in the environment that not only spell out, but relate to the following three words: Round Natural Dark
I used the toilet handle for the R, a fan inside a car for O, a hook for U, railings for the N and a car mirror for a D. I think this went well as it was easy to find rounded objects that made up the letters of the word 'round'.
Natural was a hard word to come across using only natural materials. I found a patch of overgrown plants, weeds and such and began to take photos of everything, trying to find letters in the shapes they made. When I got back with my images, I realized you couldn't tell what letters I had taken, so I zoomed into the photos to find letters within the ones I took. I found a few hidden and this was the outcome. I really like the finished piece for this, I feel its been done well using exactly what I have found within nature to create a natural piece.
Dark was a difficult one to do, as I wanted to do something with shadows. I wanted to try finding shapes that made the letters with their shadows but I couldn't find any, so I decided to make a template, and use a light to shine through it to create a the shadow around the text.
I would try to find the shapes in my surroundings but lack of time left me the only choice of doing it this way. I could return to this at a later date and try to find shadows to make the letterforms if possible.
