Holes, Me and more holes.....

So today I have been experimenting with pixalating my image in order to distort it for the viewer. I like the process involved in creating this image, the control that I had in deciding how much of the original image I wanted the viewer to see. I wanted the piece and the process to be one that expresses self exploration, looking at yourself is never easy.. neither is putting this image of yourself out there for other people to see. In doing this piece I had to both look very closely at myself and also make the decisions necessary regarding what I let the viewer see. Like me the piece also has many layers, layers which are fragile but together create an overall picture. the use of paper is important as it is raw, delicate and natural. Although the piece is small it took a long time to create, which is nice as for me it makes the piece more personal as so much time, effort and thought has gone into it. I would like to do this again but maybe experiment with the size.
