Petri Dish Responses



I decided to create some response drawings to the petri dish paintings. I wanted to be loose and free with the paintings. I recreated the concept of spreading and contamination, letting the colours bleed into one another. The colours also ran out of the original oval shape creating interesting shapes and forms that representing growths within the petri dish. I have incorporated one of the drawings into a collage. I tried incorporating a body into the petri dish, I don't feel this works as well  as the painting on its own. I feel it is too obvious with it's suggestion, furthering this idea, I am going to strip it right back. Working with layers to create a more contemporary and original piece.
