My investigation began by identifying factors that have influenced my life so far. Images 1, 2, and 3 were prompted by the locations I find most significant. I used photos, acrylic paint, and ink to explore these pieces. Next, I asked who I feel are the most influential people in my life, prompting images 4, 5, and 7. I tried linocut, translucent paper, and oil pastels to best approach this. Image 6 captures how my sport has formed my character and image 8 reflects how my influences have shaped my future. I used translucent paper, text, and layering techniques in both of these works.
