I chose this one out of all of the experiments because I liked the impression of movement it gave with the different sections of the face at different levels. To me it felt like it looked like someone was swimming down and was bobbing there head under water then back up again in different locations. This theme of movement I felt was the right direction to go with for this composition as I had looked at movement of figures in some of my other pieces as well, especially considering on most of my photographs there is movement taking place anyway.

I was influenced by the artist Claire Pestaille for this composition and her Cinema II series. I decided I would first do it in colour as I had done all of my other pieces in colour as well. Similar to my composition using a photograph of my mum I cut up the photograph landscape into lots of small strips. I then decided to completely re-arrange them a few times and took photographs so that I could compare them and decide which one I felt worked best. I decided to just use one photograph for this piece rather than combining two photographs to see how it the composition would turn out and if it would be successful. I don’t think that the way I have structured this piece is successful because I feel it is quite busy and complex looking which kind of hurts you eyes when you look at it as you don’t know where to look so you don’t really focus on any of it, it just passes by.

I think that the monochrome version of this composition is more successful than the original coloured piece however I still don’t think that it is very successful. The composition is still very busy and the contrast between the image and the white paper underneath stands out a lot which distracts you from the actual components in the image. I feel as though the photograph and the figure are lost because of the strong contrasts in the piece. I have found that I am really starting to dislike this technique of collage as it doesn’t give the desired effect that I picture and they don’t appear to be coming out very successful.
