REAL vs REPRESENTATIONAL

The concept of the Real vs. the concept of the Representational - 

THE ICEBERG

The iceberg questions the perception of a real landscape - a distorted depiction of land, made more fluid and poetic through its formation.

The notion of the iceberg is one of mystery and reveal - a floating island of which the majority is hidden from view. 
 


THE LANDSCAPE 

The act of producing an island which is hovers between the real and the representational - 

The iceberg floats in water, but the fake island floats in the sky: 





 
 Inspired by real landscapes (representations): 

 Green pines/soft hills/bright light
 Rough foliage/rocky outcrop/daylight
 Mossy growth/jagged cliff face/in the shadow
 Tall trees/rocky mountains/glow of the sunset
Shrubby growth/rocks and rivers/overcast


THE MODEL



 THE TEXTURE
