For my chosen final pieces I was mainly inspired by two artist being:

 Midori Harima

Comparison between artists work and mine:Harimas work is based around creating a 3d collage being a print off of her own image and wrapping this around a head structure to form a sculptor,I interpreted this as cutting up pieces from my portrait images and making this into a collage and then forming it in a curved manner to look 3d,I think it is quite evident to see the similarities between the pieces.And that my inspired piece works well with the techniques used.

conceptually it is an interesting piece as is symbolises different aspects of human emotion, the lighting to form a shadow is also effective as it further enhanced the three dimensional feel to the piece itself.

Second comparison:My main inspiration for this was themes of isolation from the behaviour of water, my image is a lot more abstract with a strong essence of movement, yet still has a similar composition and a similar facial expression to the artists work.Due to the unreliability of how the sea would be I think this is the most accurate presentation I could have to the artist. My other images all still carry the same concept of her work throughout.

Overall evaluation of project and final display:

Overall I think this project is very different to any work I have done before and very diverse within itself which using collage, themes of nature and behaviour; and finally  mirroring and editing techniques to remove features of a persons identity.I am happy with the final images I am left with and think they do reflect what I originally wanted to show through my work from the start. My work is clearly inspired by my artists but not a complete carbon copy,making  sure to add my own technique or additional themes of  human behaviour, isolation or loss of identity. when focusing on the words of:codes,conevtnions and secrets I feel as though I have touched on them all, being the ‘conventions’ of human behaviour and how we as humans are influenced through others behaviours,and also the unreliable behaviour of nature. Secondly ‘secrets’ is seen through the loss of identity and removal of features alongside the lack of presentation to people we think we know. lastly ‘codes’ is seen through the repetition of these characteristics  throughout many groups of people as if it is a code to be followed. There is a large range of editing between each shoot, the shoots are more concentrated on removal of identity I edited out significant features and used this to enhance the images.I also used photo techniques of mirroring and collage ,so overall using a large combination of many different ideas.The majority of my work is purely tonal shades of black and white, this is due to this being more appropriate to the pieces and themes behind them. At the beginning of the project I wanted to focus more on surrealism and I do think I have incorporated  some of these themes into my work, although I do think it has come out more of a direct portraiture observation,but with a complex presention and still does not fit wihtin the generic conventions of portraiture work.Overall I think this project is very unique and does apply to my themes and the outcomes I think all work well together.
