Conflict

Artist Statement

The subject of this image is a shovel, leaning up against the side of the house. This image was made by trying to focus the angle to the rust on the head of the shovel to showcase "conflict" and how the rust is conflicting with the original material. This image was also made by using a paint brush to paint on the developer. Overall, I like how messy the developer placement is, and I think its creative on how some spots are darker than others. I chose to create this image because I thought that the placement of the rust, was obviously creative because the rust builds up randomly. Some elements and principles I used is texture; I liked how the pattern of the rust and thought it was an interesting contrast to the original material. Some compositional rules I used were angle down; which was how I wanted to showcase the rust. My project didn't change at all. The meaning behind this image is how rust can make something look old, but truly it's time that is responsible for that. This project doesn't relate to my life in anyway, I just liked how it showed conflict in a different way.
