Over the past week I have been working with my photos that I took the week before. I have been editing the photos using a sewing machine and pleating the paper to hide certain parts of my face. I hate certain parts of my face so I have edited out the parts I don’t like by creasing the paper to hide it then covering it so no one will be able to see what is behind, I also sewed over the top to seal it in. I hate looking at parts of my face so for me it was a relief to be covering it up so no one else can see what I could.
However this is not really putting me out of my comfort zone it’s not pushing me to expose my real self which is what I wanted to achieve for my final degree project. So I what I tried to do in every picture I added less and less pleats and sewing lines on the photographs of my face which made me feel much more uncomfortable, Which I what I want to achieve.
Furthermore I think I will carry on with my video based work and this had much more of a powerful affect I felt, and it also portrayed more on what I was trying to get across.
