My final outcome ended up being a series of 4 biro portraits. The overall theme of my project was being at one with nature and about what nature meant to me personally hence the focus on self portraits. I decided the best way to get this across would be to use metamorphosis in my work to combine me and nature together. The deeper meanings that my work started to become about were about how we abuse and take for granted our surroundings and resources such as forests. I chose to present it in a certain way so they each compliment each other but still work as a series. I hole punched them and put string onto them so I can hang them onto trees which brings out their meaning but also because in my final show I'm doing an installation to go with my project to make the concepts more obvious. The installation is going to have an outside inside theme and I'm going to hang the series of mixed media pieces from the ceilings along with daisy chains. On the floor I was going to gather branches from fur trees and gather flowers from natural areas near where I live. This is so whoever is observing my work is surrounded by the theme of nature and it becomes them as they observe my work.
