This composition was inspired by David Hockney’s Polaroid pieces. I decided to cut the image up and just place the squares slightly apart from each other to see how it looked rather than doing it completely like David Hockney and having some of the same sections placed multiple times in slightly different places. I think the composition is successful and whilst it is simplistic I think the balance of the piece and the sequential way it has been placed makes it very effective.
I love this composition in black and white, I did this so that I could focus on the tones in the image to compare with the coloured version. I actually think that it is more successful in monochrome, the contrast seems to work really well to highlight the pattern and lines created in this collage. The cut up photograph sections seem to flow better in black and white as the tones are dulled down and are more similar unlike the strong contrast in colours.
