I've created this
blog to upload any relative information, links to research and inspiration for
my up and coming project. I welcome any feedback, ideas and constructive
criticism regarding directions in which to take it. Also, if you know of any links that may be useful to me, be it articles, videos, artists or any other form please feel free to post them! Thank you in
advance for your help and support!
For this project, I
look to present a collection of pieces, relating the seven deadly sins (lust, gluttony, pride, wrath, envy, sloth and greed) to
consumerism. In particular, the ways in which major corporations exploit each of these sins
to sell their products.
I will be researching the growth in corporations due to advertising, marketing and branding and the development of consumerism since the industrial revolution.
I intend to connect each sin to the industries, for example Lust: the sex industry, Gluttony: the food and beverage industry, Pride: cosmetic, fashion, automobile industries, Wrath: the arms industry, Envy: technology industry, Sloth: the entertainment industry, and Greed: banking and oil industry.
I propose to create seven forms; each with representative colour, shapes in relevance to my research through my development of drawing, and surface conveying a message through the use of symbolism and text.
