Artist statement
'Femme Fatale' is a personal interpretation of the developing mind of a man during his life. It details how women can become such a trouble within a man's mind changing him from his usual self. The title itself is in reference to the female influence upon men and how they can take on a 'man eater' role in some unfortunate male's lives. An eerie and monochromatic tone has been applied in the attempt to incorporate the frail and unique stylings of Tim Burton. Inspired by the dark meanings behind his works, a naïve approach illustrates the primitive form of a man in terms of appearance, intelligence and emotion. This animation is constructed from 4 different images with the starting image showing the most basic form of this interpretation of manhood slowly evolving into a more perplexed being, where the outside factors (women) can be seen to influence the mental, physical and emotional growth of the man until he advances to the next stage of his life where his maturity and self control induces a self-realisation within himself which helps restore the natural order and stability of the mind. The naïvety of the piece is used as a technique to maintain a more basic approach visually toward delivering the complex connotation of the work. The Tim Burton inspired aesthetics of 'Femme Fatale' is meant to startle and unnerve the viewers in an attempt to evoke empathetic emotions in relation to the troubling effects women can have upon an evolving male's mind.
