the postcard on the left is inspired by my own narrative "The sunlight dances in this place creating a picturesque view..." Taking this part of the narrative I decided to recreate the aspect of the sunlight dancing through a lino cut. initially the lino cut was of a river but taking on this idea redefining and recreating I wanted to somehow integrate the image of the river to exemplify a sense of movement. Overlaying lino cuts also provided my work with a sense of depth.
The middle image is the second of the imaginative series in which I imagined Norwich be rich in sea life. Compositionally,I decided to place the fish on-top of the water rather than behind. Bringing the fish forward forces the viewer to question the postcard. I imagined the fish would be superimposed on top of the water because firstly I considered the fact that Norwich is a city so their is most likely an element of water pollution. Secondly I wanted the viewer to question the role they have in this. Although the postcard maybe pleasing to the eye, a deeper meaning is conveyed through my choice of colour. shades of pale yellows and creams juxtapose the harsh blue creating a deeper sense of life/ loss of life within the fish.
Although Nicol's way of mark making did not really suite me, I decided to try it once again. Using only my fingers and a single shade of blue I tried to illustrate this idea of movement using a repetitive circular motion with my hands.
At first I had made the decision that this would be my final imagined post card but upon reflection I decided to go with composition below as I felt compositionally as a set of postcards they work well together. I imagined what the medieval aspects of Norwich looked like in a modern setting. I cannot fully say I relied on my imagination entirely as your imagination is often informed by previous experience e.g. observation.
