Deconstruction of Identity
- deconstruction by use of drugs - bath salts to be exact. It looks like it was done in pencil.
- It's a self portrait of an artist by the name of Bryan Saunders. He's trying to convey an altered perception of one's self by outside influences. This is actually only one of many portraits he did while experimenting with different drugs, all of which altered the perception of himself.
- When you see this you might think it was done by an angry child. I feel that the story is essential or else it will be read wrong. It might also be useful to have a picture of the artist next to it to really see what has happened.
Image Deconstruction
- This was done in watercolor by an artist named Henrietta Harris. She specializes in deconstructed portraits. She distorts the image that she paints.
- Through her images she wants to convey moments when people are lost in thoughts or dreams. Well, that's what I read from the website.
- I'm not exactly sure that's what I see though, I'm having a difficult time interpreting her images. In this painting, specifically, I do feel like this guy is dreaming, however when I see her other works that message doesn't come across as clear.
Surface Deconstruction
- Made by Rebecca Stevenson and is constructed of polyresin and wax. She primarily sculpts human and animal heads. Then she adds flowers or opens up the surface like this one.
- She loves the process of creation and deconstruction, life and decay. That's very obvious, she conveys that well.
- This sculpture doesn't convey decay unlike some others. I do get the sense of deconstruction by the way she takes apart the detailed face. Both aspects of the sculpture are beautiful to me because the deconstructed/decay part doesn't just look decayed, she took her time to deconstruct it beautifully.
