This is part fo my project for Matt. Stereotypes and labels. i am centreing on the theme of identity mainly, and its going extremely slowly. the main theme in my work so far has been about disguise, hence the masquerade masks. the first option was to show different parts of a persons identity, through things that are changeable, eg. hats, moustache, masks, wigs, glasses. and the image would be strking enough that you would immediately have a picture of the whole person in your head, just by being shown one aspect, thus stereotyping yourself int he act of creating the persons image.
secondly, i was thinking about how animals have stereotypes likened to us, people are often labelled like animals too, "a bit of a monkey" " a tigress" " the lone wolf" etc etc. i was wondering whether to use the masquearde masks as as means of portraying the persons identity through animals. the mask would be made to look like an animals face, clearly showing the personality of the wearer for all to see. its a disguise (the mask) but it is displaying the whole nature of the person wearing it.
The last image, was about quotations and the words we often speak without holding much thought to their meanings when we would say them to/ about someone else. inside the quotation marks are many different stereotypes scribbled on top of each other so that they cannot be read.
