Hello,
As promised I got a move on and have worked like a madman to get the next stages of my guitar done, as I sit here waiting for the glue and paint to dry I thought this would be a great opportunity to write up my next blog. So here it is.
The back face of my guitar is all about my future and where I see myself. I decided to use the medium of paint, similarly to the front of my guitar however this time my painting style was very different. As my future is undecided and most likely full of mistakes as well as beautiful moments; I wanted to replicate that by doing a freehand textured painting. It is far from Perfect; you can see the pencil lines underneath the paint and the edges are not always clear - unlike the front which has very bold and obvious outlines. The imperfections of the back of my guitar are intentional, a metaphor for myself, I am far from perfect but still beautiful. I wanted the painting to feel raw and textured as this is the part of my guitar that represents my life - not my influences. Whereas the other sides of the guitar are about how I got to where I am now this side is all about where I am going and what dreams I strive to become a reality. The painting shows myself, on stage in my dream dress, facing a large audience. I will let my imagination wonder as to what I am saying to my audience but everytime I look at it can be different- sometimes I am singing, sometimes I’m acting or even accepting an award. The possibilities of what my painted self is doing on that stage is open just as I hope my future is.
As always here Are the photos, I have also included the inspiration photos I used for the theatre and the dress.
