For this piece my idea was to make something similar to the work of Ingrid Weyland, an Argentinian photographer who expresses the fragility of the natural environment through her work.
Image analysis
For this image analysis I looked at this photo from Ingrid, showing a road through a forest/ jungle, however Ingrid has added scrunched up print of the photo. This was most likely done to show humans effect on the land. The picture was taken on a misty day, and has the road centred most likely to emphasise the effect it has had on the forest as it breaks right through it. The rough texture of the paper ball gives a good contrast to the softness of the background image.

Final Piece & Process
To make this piece I started by printing out the original image, and then a section of the original image to then crease and layer over it.
Once I printed out the cut out I played with it, making it look creased and distorted.
After making the first version I decided to see what it would look like if I made the distorted portion smaller so I reduced it using a guillotine.
Overall I think these two both came out well, so i decided to try on another landscape photo by repeating the same process with a different shape
Evaluation & Comparison
Overall I think that these pieces came out very good and mostly how I planned, they are similar to the work of Ingrid Weyland, not only in the process used to create but also in the way that they represent “the fragility of the natural environment” with the distorted paper patches representing the impact humans have on the earth because paper is a “fragile” material- so it shows the “fragility” of these topographics”
