I had a chat today with Ben about what I would like to do in COP3 and it made me resolve on a final decision. So far I have been debating two COP questions :
Question 1: What is Good? - To what extent does Social Responsibility impact on the role and function of Illustration?
In which I would like to explore the content that I think is important and would like to communicate through my practice - primarily environmental issues, such as poaching, deforestation, vegetarianism etc. I would look at our social responsibility as image-m how illustration can make social impact in the world. In this I would look at behavioural change psychology and other campaigns or art forms fuelled by design and illustration that have made social impact.
Question 5: To what extent does Aesthetic ‘Style’ reflect the context, audience and/or function of contemporary Illustration?
My other idea is to extend my current exploration of visual communication in relation to abstract illustration. I would open up this discussion further looking in further depth at conceptual illustration, visual metaphor and art movements such as constructivism, surrealism, fauvism etc.
Although I am passionate about Question 1, I think it is important for me to continue to discover how, as a practitioner I can best produce work both conceptually and practically to suit my own interests. Once I have mastered this I may apply it effectively to any content of my choosing.
