Although we may not normally consider animals as part of our society, they certainly are to Caitlin Hackett. Caitlin Hackett is an artist who specializes in these large scale drawings with ballpoint pen, ink, and watercolor. She draws large creatures that seem mythological but resemble recognizable animals. She expresses the concept that we, as humans, are taking over so much of the environment that we are taking away the characteristics of animals both physically and metaphysically. Since we are consistently changing our environment, that means we are changing their environment too and forcing them to either adapt and mutate, or die and lose the war. Her illustrations are incredible and express her concept and ideas exactly.

Erica,
ReplyDeleteIs this your Blog #2 Entry? If so, make sure you post that in the title si I know. And, If so, while this work is amazing, How does this relate to DIGITAL Design?
It relates to design because it uses unique concepts to demonstrate an issue in the community and is expresses through an effective image.
ReplyDelete(I changed the title too but it just created a new post for it).
I agree that her work does indeed communicate well and it relates to the topic we were discussing in class yesterday. The assignment however was to find an example of DIGITAL design. This is an example of traditional illustration/drawing/design and not digital in any way...
