Backlog

After photocopying the collages, they look the same but are now flat- they have become smooth, whole images. The distorted characters have become almost real.
I have been experimenting with the size and scale of these photocopies also, enlarging them to various sizes and placing them on larger white surfaces.
I find these pieces really interesting and want to further this idea by varying my source of images.

Looking at the work of photographer Joel-Peter Witkin, specifically Arms broken by windows, (1980)

in which Witkin used images of parts of the face to cover the same parts of his models face thus creating a new identity. I wish to work with this idea, but in terms of gender, creating a new, differently gendered identity. It would be almost a photographic.
