I came across an article about Lord Whitney in a supplement in the newspaper. While I haven't yet concerned much of my work with the 3D, Lord Whitney have demonstrated the diverse range of possibilities and values brought about by working 3 dimensionally. Reading the interview, one think that stood out to me was their interpretation of illustration; "The first jobs we got were illustration, so we'd build mini-sets in our bedrooms and photograph them, dress as canaries, anything to be as original as possible". It is interesting that 3D is their instinctual approach to illustration, perhaps through the ability to play and move components to explore a range of scenarios.
Their work explores such a vibrancy of colours and textures, merging the hand-made with the found object, or even themselves. These images above capture very illustrative scenes and objects, characterised by colour and shape, yet realised through the presence of a figure to a very immediate image. I am really intrigued by Lord Whitney's ideology around the possibilities of image making and how I might be able to use 3D elements to enhance the immediacy of my own narratives.
