Idea:
The idea for my final project will stem off of Experiment #1: What is colour. Through this project I identified colour as a tangible object, that I was able to manipulate through photographic digital media. I would like to continue this experiment in order to develop a technical, and conceptual focus through the use of digital, and analogue practices. Inspiration has been identified from the following four artists: Jessica Eaton, Keith Rankin, Holly Roberts, Alex Mcleod. I found that each artist has contributed to my idea appropriately, and operate through a range of different photographic elements. I am interested in creating conflicting environments, subjects, and objects in my composition, which will contradict their physical spaces in their environments.
These are the images that were produced previously for Experiment #1
Influences:
I hope to create surreal images based off the influences below.

- Great technical attention
- Ability to create and identify conflicting colours, shapes
- Experimentation with different ways of abstraction
- Presentation quality
Keith Rankin
- Integration of different gradients through the use of digital media
- Interesting, compelling, confusing composition
- Inspiration for the surreal
Holly Roberts

Boy Barefoot Rider (2013)
A Bird I Saw Walking (2007)
- Use of photographic elements which contribute to its creation
- Interesting uses of imagery to explain the anatomy of nature
- Inspiration for the photographic element of the project
- Difficulty in the surreal
Alex Mcleod
