Anthropocene/Evaluation – George Blake

For the Anthropocene Topic, I believe my outcomes are a unique take on what usually isn’t massively associated to Anthropocene but still proves to be through its deeper meanings and historical context.

By covering the topic of conflict, my images show how the affect of Anthropocene is omni-present in every aspect of life. More specifically , my images go to show how through generations of human impact and change, the element of war leaves scars and resonates within the world and society till this day.

By using foam board I was able to create a 3D effect for this edit I made.

By incorporating some text, I believe this improved the outcome of this edit. Using text allows to create a deeper meaning to the image as what it means can be broken down into ambiguous definitions.

As mentioned before, text helps to add meaning to the work, in this case, It works as an education tool to inform the viewer of what went on within the subjects contents.

My work

Martha Rosler’s work

Taking inspiration from War collages, with their particular artists such as Martha Rosler, as well as different art movements like the soviet Avant Grande, these all helped me visually and conceptually base what I wanted my outcomes for these images to look like.
