These are some examples in which I was inspired(separate from the artists work):

I was fascinated with the distortion within people due to either a self inflicting issue reflected onto themselves to mirror an emotion, this would come under their own personal secret and view of themselves and the continuous convention of people being subjected to portray a certain aspect of themselves to others.This would come under a surrealistic aspect and also possibly from using mirrors and or collage as well as Photoshop techniques within the image.

Second artist:Midori Harima

Harima relocated to the United States in 2001, and currently maintains a studio in New York. She is known for her technique of creating hollow paper sculptures from archival paper, onto which she has pasted photocopied images from magazines, newspapers, and other conventional media. By gathering and linking together fragments of the visual information that inundates today’s society, and thereby raising issues that cannot be represented by other means, her work leads to the discovery of intuitive beauty for which her practice is highly acclaimed.During her more recent work she links her ambition to projects featuring democracy and new inspiration from daily life such as every daily consummations and considering how this effects the democracy and as a whole within society.

why I chose her work:

I was originally inspired by the somewhat gruesome observations of identity and the conventions that we are not who we present others that we are, I was also interested wihtinn the collage and inventive way in which the faces were formed or even futher experimented wihtin using dolls and a reflection of behaviour and almost a code of a set way in which we have to behavouir and also look all the time. Harima relates sucessfully to this as her work shows a sense of emotion of a 3d image but onto a face stuture,bringing alive something that does not exist,and an emotion and we deem relastic to the surrounding society.

Favourite image analysis:

This image holds many connotations of being removed  in many aspects, which creates an eerie sense due to the lack of colour and loss of humanness wihtin the image itself, it possess many characteristics to which a human should obtain but are lacking, such as movement and an expression but most importantly the image of the face is added over the head so the proportions are a way to present the image .It possesses many questions and fits into secrets codes and conventions as their is such a lack of colour and being it possess so much mystery wihtin the relationship of the body and the image form of the head itself,It once again fits into a theme of isolation and a confromative act of behaviour in which we have to comfort to as a code and how the face is smiling but is clearly a fake emotion.This could also be produced by collage seen above by my unrelated originally inspired images which led me to this artist.There is a clear sense of insecurity  projected from herself onto her work and once gain highlights a false sense of security whitin a child being not being real.

inspiration from her work:

what I can take from her work is the way in which she forms a structure in order to demonstrate a false emotion and a consistent juxtaposition of trying to demonstrate a positive emotion. This links to my first artists as it constitutes for an act of behaviour and false sense of self.
