Nikki, this looks so immersive and thought provoking. I think making this lonely character highlighted has created a sharp contrast that conveys the message. I also love how you distributed the crowd to a larger area rather than just around the character, that also contributed to the contrast. As for your comment “but I do wonder if I need the text there at all”, now I am wondering the same... All along, you had this text as a title or context for this piece, at this point it is just a matter of how you want to lead the viewer. Do you want them to think, get consumed, and arrive at the same place as you without super clear instructions? Or do you want them to be directed very strictly and clearly to where this is headed to? Thank you, again, for sharing this process. I enjoy seeing the process, reading the comments and suggestions, and observe how others’ interpretation shapes the process. Thank you!!
Thank you for your thoughtful, insightful comments... I am leaning toward losing the text and creating an obvious title. I'll post the final (?) version on the weekend. Today, though, I went in a different direction and took a zine-making workshop... So, first I'll write about that and then get back to the Blue Man Collage. Thanks again for contributing to the discussion :)
