I made the choice to lower the level of detail on the forground, as I don’t want to take away from the sharp focus of the characters. But I’m finding that the foreground is hard to visualise as I work. Like with a billboard you almost need to stand a few hundred feet away to see what you’re actually working on!
Here are three stages of the work from today.
Alexander Stevenson is a visual artist and project maker based in the UK. Often working with the perception of 'knowledge' (surrounding specific groups of people or institutions) to produce diverse outcomes that are analytical, witty and intriguing. These artworks intend to question the way in which we relate to knowledge and knowledge systems. This includes objects and activities that explore and challenge ways of archiving, our relationship to history, cultural appropriation, shared beliefs, personal myths, and the act of re-presentation.
