This piece is also inspired by David Hockney, I cut the photograph up into small squares and then removed the ones that didn’t have any parts of the figure in. I arranged them with small gaps in between to give the impression of Polaroid photographs. I really like this piece I think it is simple yet effective and the absence of the rest of the image makes it seem almost like pixels that are slowly forming to make up the whole image however it hasn’t quite finished yet as it has froze which is what I personally feel it gives the impression of which I quite like.

Whilst I really like the original coloured version of this piece I love the contrast between the cut up squares of the photograph and the white background, I think it really makes the composition stand out. The monochrome print appears to really highlight the light shining through the water which I really like as it gives the composition more atmosphere and energy. I think that the piece looks like the person is disappearing as there is a lot of white space to the right of the piece making it look like the image is unfinished and is fading away before it has been pieced together again, hence the white gaps between each square.

I decided to try and incorporate my stitching into this piece to see how it would look as I have started combining my techniques to develop my experiments further. I didn’t finish this piece because after doing a bit of stitching I realised I didn’t really like the effect the stitching was having on the piece and because I knew it was going to take a while I decided I didn’t want to spend ages finishing it when I knew I was not going to like the outcome.
