Combining Experiments

From looking through my experiments, I decided to combine the inspired styles of Nicholas Kennedy Sitton and Lucas Simoes. I took the idea of fragmented images that possessed the 3D effect and the circular rotating photography and combined them into one piece to find out the outcome. I continued to use triangular shapes, because I found that the shape suited most situations, this being experiment being a good example. The flat side of the telephone box and triangular cut out when creating this piece seemed like an ideal fit. 

The cut outs work with this piece, because they seem apart of the image, like they are floating into the air. This surreal appearance challenges the way of looking at an object, such as a telephone box that we majority of the time do not acknowledge. 

This piece might be improved through the use of abandoned objects such as a cut up cans. I could cut out the cans into triangular shapes so that it fits into the others, and then flatten them out using weight. I would have to decide which side of the can would be most suitable for this piece, the shiny metal or the printed side. 

To further develop on this idea, I could have used cardboard to raise certain areas, so that a 3D element is used. A slight increase in height within areas, would make the piece more interesting, judging on previous experiments this has been successful. 




Within this piece, I decided to use the cardboard to create 3 different layers. I found this layering method successful because the abrupt contrasts in height made the images more interesting. In previous experiments the height difference had took focus away from the photography, however, within this example the height seemed to compliment the medium. 

When the piece was viewed from above, like this image, the layers weren't visible. However, from looking at the piece from a different perspective new layers emerged creating a new piece. 

My vision only allows me to view the world in a flattened, compressed way, like from above. However, over the years I've been able to uncover hints of these layers through basically natural learnt methods. 

I decided to produce another experiment, with the development of allowing the photos to flow off one layer onto another. Throughout this investigation process, I hadn't considered using paper's natural flexible properties.
















I decided to further this idea, by applying ink to the piece, however, I found this unsuccessful. The ink didn't seem to suit the situation, yet this could have been the colour selected. 

Within this piece, I further applied a white strip to bring in negative space. However, this didn't work, so I'm going to continue with applying negative space through cut away in the style of Lucio Fontana.
