After reading through my blog I have decided to add a post about the progression of this project as a whole.
I originally planned to focus on contemporary interiors, but am generally more drawn to historical ones and keep on finding more interiors of this kind that I think would be good to use for my project of interiors and unreality.
For this reason I have decided that what I am the most interested in is representing interiors, whether old or new, in a contemporary way, in the way that they are painted, and the colours that I use.
After a tutorial, I have decided that the interiors which work best in creating a sense of unreality are the ones which are built from a mixture of different images, and imagined space. In this way they are depicting emotional rather than physical space, and focus more on atmosphere than representation.
This also links to the methods of Dalwood and Weischer, both of whom form their interiors by making a collage from different pieces of interior magazines, then painting these images on a larger scale in a single composition, to create images with a disjointed appearance and strong sense of unreality.
