My project was based on the novel by Tracey Chevalier 'Girl with a Pearl Earring'.
It is very different from my usual work, as I was told I must use colour. (I am really more of a neutral kind of girl...) To make my project clearly relate to the theme my colour palette was based on colours from Vermeer's masterpiece paining - the inspiration behind Chevalier's conspiracy novel.
I researched symbolism of insects, inspired by Dutch floral paintings created at the time of Vermeer. The moth represents 'a dangerous attraction leading to unhappiness' This is very in-keeping with the main storyline of the novel so I included this within my project.
Narrative is also important to me, I wrote out sections of the novel in 17th century handwriting and incorporated this into my design work.
Now I have to begin the task of deciding what to do next!
