'Whats the point of life if you don't live it'


Final Major Project title - ' What's the point of life if you don't live it'
 
I chose this title because it sums up my whole scooter journey that this piece represents. It shows the link between the past, the present and the future. How one aspect of your life can continue like the threads of time interlinking the past memories with creating new ones.
 
I like the fact that it tells a story, although anyone who views this won't know the personal story behind it. To them it will just be a piece of artwork and will look more at the aesthetic side. The fact that only a selected few people will ever know the true meaning behind everything incorporated into this to me adds more depth and substance.

Experiment with decollage. I have never done this method before so was interested to see how it would turn out. I used pages from a scooter magazine as well as words from northern soul songs, with different scooter rallies printed on. Quite pleased with the outcome although I used the wrong coloured paper, the blue and the yellow as its too stark. I like the 'roughness' of it I think it ties in well with the scooter theme. Will experiment more with this.

To add interest to the jeans I roughly cut them into strips and sewn them back together to create a more textural/rough platform to then start adding the words. I decided to embroidery the actual scooter rallies I have attended which has the greatest meaning to my work. Bridlington, Scarborough, Whitby, Southport and Kelso. These all have personal meanings i.e. from the first scooter rally I ever attended to the last my husband attended. I chose to add two northern soul songs which again have a great deal of personal meaning. I first started to embroidery this on, but found that visually this wasn't strong enough as I knew that this piece would be exhibited online only. I therefore decided not to embroidery these words and just use marker pen. This shows up more in a photograph.
