Jonny Briggs Task – Destroy an image in 5 different ways

 

“Destroy an image in 5 different ways…”

When preparing for this task i had to consider what Jonny may have meant by the word ‘destroy’. Everyone has different interpretations of how you could destroy and image what you could do to it and the extent to which you may destroy it. I thought that it was an unusual task because it is a different approach to altering images especially when they are family album images, for example i found the idea of destroying an image very unnatural and found myself quite uncomfortable thinking about it.
