I liked the overlapping of the drawings, however there isn't really a narrative shown in those drawings. In order to show a narrative, I decided to take on Hockney's approach on making a photography collage like his 'joiners'.

I liked the idea of drawing on tracing paper, and how it shows that the tree holds a sentimental value to me. However, tracing paper is quite opaque, and when overlapped, the details at the bottom are hard to see. Furthermore, I would like to experiment with showing how others might view the tree by drawing, and I think the best way would be to use marker pens on clear acetates.
I have thought about developing the idea of glasses further. I wanted to create the effect of colours canceling each other out when it overlaps each other. However with acetates and paints, when the colours overlap each other, it actually stands out even more, and would not cancel each other out. So, I thought about challenging myself in using digital painting, as photoshop might be able to create the effect I want.
I was surprised when my family and friends told me they did not know where the tree we have walked passed a thousand times is located, and this made me want to make a short video to show the different paths to get to this tree.
I have documented each of the monoprints and decided to make a video out of it to show the transition and emphasise how fast people's perception can change.
This experiment is inspired by David Hockney's "Joiners". He uses various photographs of different perspectives from different time of the day to create a collage, creating narratives as if the viewer is moving through the space.
Key Idea- People's choice and perspective shapes how they perceive their own truth and reality
I have asked my parents and a friend to help me photograph a tree in the park opposite to my home. This tree is like my 'Grandmother Willow', where when I am struggling or feeling down, I would sit near this tree to seek for answers, reflecting on myself and my own actions.
I liked the experiment of overlaying coloured tracing paper on monochrome images, and wanted to develop this idea further, by creating a pair of glasses that augments viewers' visions with a predetermined colour to exaggerate how perspective and judgements mask things they see.
I liked the idea of using monoprints to mirror how people perceive a different image every time they come across the same thing because of the ever-changing variables, and wanted to develop this idea further by creating a large amount of monoprints to demonstrate such effect.
