So I'm working on my Totem post, and I'm currently trying to think of ways to make my totem pole, and what medias to work with. I have decided on my animals after thinking about my fears, weaknesses, hopes, etc. Here is what I have made (worth showing) so far!
Octopus experiment
So this is my experiment of an octopus, I actually find this quite scary! As I intended! It's the eyes for sure! I really love it, it's full of character. The colours & facial expressions help exaggerate the feeling i'm trying to communicate.
Fawn Experiment
This is my experiment of my fawn that I will be using in my totem pole, I was actually using the other side and I did not realize I was working on paper that had a pattern on, I turned it round and I loved it so much I decided to use that instead! Still it lacks something. I did make various eyes, for each totem. It would have been nice to include those too.
And on second thought, a totem post with eyes on it would be really funky right!? Hmm....
I am still unsure of how I'm going to put together this totem pole, and I am currently just experimenting with materials and ideas. I do like these animals but I can't see them being finals. I will continue to research but I think i might use textiles because it would be really nice to see patterns screen printed on to fabric, and to make animals out of them, I also like the idea of making a chinese like wind kite, so that it would catch the wind.
