Well the photo we was given didn't give us too much information to play around with however it was still enough for me to go absolutely bonkers! The photograph is pretty simply a women looking into a bathroom sink. Many people suggested that by her looking down and holding her belly she could feel over weight or that she might even be pregnant. I went a step further and believed this women has some major phycological problems and was on the verge of suicide. Using the photocopier i made many copies of this victim and began to make some pretty disturbing creations, I liked the idea of her feeling so physically sick with herself that she was literally spewing up her own guts! I especially like the one where it looks as if she has shot her twin in the back with bullets of blood. The technique was rather simple, you just make plenty of copies and individually cut out each limb so you can create certain movements, this way I can have her leaning back spewing blood or even running!
The final piece was a series of snap shots of the women running un till she finally throws up, This piece was made on photoshop to save time. I feel the first creations I made by hand were more effective though and had a better quality to them that couldn't be replicated using the mac programs.
