Description | This piece depicts my dream farm which is an old worn out watering can inhabited by tiny people to create a miniature ecosystem. Not only do watering cans connote the idea of looking after and nurturing a living organism, but they also portray individual or personal care and commitment. Watering cans are also closely associated with nature and so therefore evoke a sense of harmony and happiness within the farm environment. Along the pathways, and up the staircases, these people have grown many varieties of fruits and vegetables as well as building homes and gardens to create this cozy and welcoming atmosphere. My piece was made using inks to achieve contrast and detail, and watercolour to create a whimsical and dream like quality. |
