Revealing layers (part two)

Although this piece doesn't look like much I feel that it shows a lot. Again, I was wanting to represent new layers being created, the previous piece I did using this idea didn't go well. In simpler terms I didn't like, it did not represent at all the idea that I had created in my head. Therefore, before trying to recreate it I wanted to start fresh, clear my head of my previous art work. I wanted to keep this piece simple. Therefore I have tried to keep all of the colours the same. I used a white paper bag and teared it up, using glue I stuck it down onto my page, I then pinched the layers of white paper bag together creating small ripples and different textures within the piece. I like how this looked, however the paper bag was slightly discoloured, it had a yellow colour. Therefore I decided to paint some parts of it in white paint. I chose the colour yellow white, because then the layers would still hold some of the yellowish tone that made it look aged, withering. I am really pleased with the way this piece turned out, it has this subtle beauty about it. It shows a old layer that has faded away and has started to reveal the new layer. The paper bag is old, and shriveled up, it's starting the peel away. This has revealed a new layer, a bright white layer unlike the discoloured layer of the paper bag. I feel that this portrays the idea that I wanted convey to people. Therefore I don't think there is a need to recreate the previous piece, this piece has shown everything I wanted it too.
