Using my drawings as blue print and creating a mixture of
techniques for my samples.
I like the crow because it is self-conscious of it’s dark
feathers when compared to other birds.
I empathise with the crow.
The crow looks to the Eagle for strength and capability. The Eagle
explains to the crow that both species are free. There are similarities to The ugly Duckling
story, however a crow will not change into a swan and so has to accept itself
as it is.

I think of drawing as a way of planning this story that I
want to tell, without words. Therefore, I think I needed to create some very
strong visual images to show the meaning, thoughts and storyline to the
audiences.
As Figure 1 and 2 shows that even I uses the drawing as a
blue print, it still not the same, for when I draw I can see everything, such
as the space.
When I used the machine to draw, I was not able to see the
sections of the fabric as a whole. The scale of my drawings has had an impact
upon the lines and the space.

I have been drawing sections of the story line in sequence
without using narrative.

This final stage of the story shows the blue crow more in
its true colours in nature. I have
highlighted the metallic quality of the feather to show that the crow is
lessening its burden. The lighter feathers reflect the lighter heart of the
crow. There is a survival instinct that
I am trying to capture. Crows feed themselves and are free. The crow is represented as one legged. This is a metaphor within the work to allow
people to make a connection between themselves and the crow. The crow in this
picture wants to be the Eagle.
