Journey Mark Making Experiments
Journey Experiments - Mental Health

In this experiment, i decided to create a mono print. I used red paint because i like the fact that it can give so many different connotations, for example danger, blood, trauma, etc. I used the mark making technique of scribbles to create a brain-like shape as they are the main focus when it comes to mental health. The colour red with the shape of a brain creates the idea that the danger or trauma is found within the brain, possibly as memories or thoughts. I reprinted the colour red to other parts of the page to show that these bad thoughts can spread outside of the brain into real life. This may be through actions towards other people or your general attitude. The scribbles represent the many thoughts inside the brain, positive and negative. In this case though, most of the thoughts are negative due to the addition of the colour red. Red is commonly seen as a bad/negative colour because it is often the colour associated with anger. This relates to mental health as uncontrollable anger/a short temper is a general sign of an anger issue. The disorderly pattern of the scribbles also shows the confusion often found in a troubled mind.
