CPS Week4-place

In response to the theme of 'discussions of place', I made a sketchy illustration or concept art with photoshop.

By exploring a concept in which: the moon was upset by the previous nights new years eve fireworks exploding in its face, so that the next day the moon pulls an unexpectedy low tide, dissapointing a pair of fishers. -I showed that the characters moods and subsequent actions are informed by the agency of the place and the community living there. 

Similar work has been produced by stop motion artist Kirsten Lepore, whose work 'Move Mountain' explores this theme by playing with the idea that the character and its world are linked. She shows this by visually representing the characters inward state through the environment. An example being when the character is bitten by a spider, the world around them then begins breaking down, or when the character exhales, it is mirrored by the breeze in the trees.
