As I felt my first spiral cut-out composition was successful I decided to try it again using a different photograph and in black and white so that I could focus on tone as well as seeing how it worked in different photographs. I think that this piece is really successful, the pattern within the image seems to work really well and your focus is still on the figure in the composition with the illusion helping to highlight the figure more in the piece of work. I think that it is a really interesting composition to look at as your eyes follow the direction of the spiral round and round almost giving it an optical illusion effect.

I photocopied this composition and enlarged it to A3 to see what it would look like on a larger scale. I think it works well on a larger scale and I feel as though this technique would look rally effective on super large scale however I didn’t have the resources to print that large a scale but I would have liked to experiment further with a larger scale for some of my pieces of work. My plan is to maybe develop this further with stitching.
