My Name is Danielle Mayo I am a 24 year old profoundly Deaf student. I am currently studying on the B.A Hons Fine Art coursed based within Wirral Metropolitan College.
I have recently been looking at works based around slavery and how the slaves were deprived and badly treated. This had such an affect on me I decided to research further into this area and chose to look into Sensory Deprivation. This is something I can relate to personally as I am profoundly Deaf.
The work I have chosen to exhibit in this exhibition are taken from my developmental stages of work.
My first piece of work is my own transcription of Sir Eduado Paolizzi 1924-2005”Mandarin Head” to create this I used Navy blue, Black and white oil paint. I combined all of these colours together to create the bluey grey colours and used both dark and light shades to create a depth and texture to my work.
My next piece is a strong image which was very strongly influenced by Eduardo Paolozzi’s “Michaelangelo’s David “1987.I created this monochrome image using charcoal, the fragments of the miss jointed pieces were framed with much darker marks of charcoal. I also created the shadow, light and depth into the image by blending and removing marks from the paper. My third piece of work was my own transcription of Piccasso’s weeping woman. Which I also worked in charcoal to create.
