I had taken a photo of my old a5 water colour painting of a couple with an expressionist style back round part inspired by Vincent Van Gogh made it into a bigger piece of work by photocopying it in different filters and placing them as a collection of scenes but with different atmospheres making it feel like time is passing. The progression of higher contrast in each copy fades out the lighter colours in the back round and eventually the colours have faded and slowly transitions into a black and white scene. This is meant to represent time going by between two people and how they will “feel it again and again” as written in each copy the feeling they have from the very first scene. The colourful beginning represent youthful optimism for a timeless scene but then the colours suddenly disappear as time goes by marking the ageing couple. So i had took a small timeless picture perfect painting of a couple and subjected the image into processes of filters that would take on the role of time passing by for time is a process that cant be stopped. It becomes a bigger concept as a whole.

What i would of done if i could to properly integrate the painting into my idea of time going by is to perhaps made the silhouettes shape seem like they are ageing giving it a more convincing look but perhaps the fact that the shape always stays the same stays true to its original context as a picture perfect water colour painting of relationships.
