final images

 

    
Bacon - I decided to have a trio of images for the pieces that reflect the meat industry and also, a larger image that I composed by repeating the bacon images over and over again - my reason behind this was to heighten the sense of mass production and consumption of meat. I would of liked to created work constructed more like Krista Svalbonas with the images I produced with the bacon, with a more contorted and twisted effect. However, I think the use of the composition in blocks mirrors the structure and order of our daily lives and constructed society and the habit of eating meat. 

Plastic - With the images I produced with plastic, I think my composition reflects Krista Svalbonas' work more than the bacon images. When I was creating these images, the process felt more creative in terms of figuring out the shapes and placement of the repeated images. However, I think I could of created more out of the material I had and produced a similar image like the pop art of bacon that represents the mass and the extent humans go to, to satisfy a habit. Both the topics have the same principle, a problem that has arisen because of the growth of population and selfishness of our race.
