Bol Marjoram
Bol Marjoram has a exhibition coming to the Canal in March. Titled What kind of hole am I?. The reasons while I am interested in Marjoram’s work is because I am making collages for part of my work for the Degree Show. The images will show and expand on the world of the film. Using paper and card to produce multi-media artwork.
Marjoram has experience working in Animation, which is what my work is about. Canal responds that “Collage is a technique which collects and juxtaposes different kinds of material.” (2017, p.1)
By making collages I have found that it is helping my process for the film as it’s making me think about the narrative and how the characters are affected by their emotions. Canal thinks that “It is by its nature an inclusive process.” (1017, p. 1)
Marjoram has people in the collages. This reflects in my work as my collages have the characters from the film included in them. Such as the evil witches trying to take over the town. Marjoram almost has two layers to the work. As there’s the background and then the people over the top of it. There is a good contrast between the different shades. The focal point of the colour is the background. Lots of different texture and use of other mediums are shown. Such as ribbed paper. This add to the people as they give them a grounding in the work.
Makes them stand out more and acts almost like a narrative. Which is what I am doing. As my film the people can against a background such as the shops for example. These details help to fill in what the character are experiencing and help to explode the story.
