Small talk with Stephen

After we had our group reading session with Stephen in the morning, I spoke to him after because I was a bit confused as I have so many ideas and don't know how to find a connection between them all.
When talking to him he referred back to the piece i produced for the Dispatches project.

This is the piece from the Dispatches project that Stephen thought was really interesting and I could develop further. He really liked the way I have Photo-shopped the image as if im taking bits of colour away from the picture. He also said that it looks like one of the original 3D pictures! The way I have changed it in Photo-shop makes it look like how super-heroes are perceived, but what Stephen found interesting was that superheroes are people everyone wants to be and looks up to whereas my image shows a homeless person but in a superhero quality. It was suggested that I could keep the original image and only use the effect on the homeless guy, because then you wouldn't need the writing on the board as it will speak for itself!

This is another piece that me and Stephen discussed:

He really liked my idea of changing this poster into a video/installation. Also he did say that instead of saying they are queuing for a sale at a shopping center, let the viewer think about what they are queuing for because they could be ina queue for anything eg. blockbuster. I don't need to be too direct, I need to start being able to let the viewer think for themselves and use their imagination. 

Stephen did say that if I want to change medium like painting etc. as long as I document it well, then it will be alright to jump from paint to video and maybe then to installation art.
