Body

On our self-directed study days we had to create a piece around the theme of body, how we see ourselves, how we see others, essentially whatever we made of the idea. 

Mine turned into something really weird, a bit confusing, but I think intriguing. 

I decided to work with the idea of distortion, how the way we view our bodies can be different to the way others see us. I was also inspired by having to draw what we felt last week, and how difficult it was to translate one sense into another, and how this can be distorted to change our perceptions. From this I chose to use images of my body, focusing on lines and curves, and by using extremely cropped images and fixing these together I was able to create a weird form in which it becomes difficult to identify which body parts are which. 

Here's a fun game: Guess the body parts.
