The bonus of not producing a book, and creating this blog is that I can document my work right up to the deadline. These images are what I created using the scraps of my existing work, and threw them together to create these horrific, disturbing yet funny images. Using transparencies and photocopies the faces are mirrored and overlaid in ways that accentuate, mask and/or even highlight certain parts of the face.
The funny thing about these pictures are that they were pretty much an after thought yet turned out to be some of my favourites of the project. I love the subtleties like the rapist/possessed left eye that I have developed on the bottom right image that is framed by some hair and the eyes and nose lining up less than a centimetre above the mouth on the image above. Again on the bottom image if you were to turn it CCW then I have a mouth in-between my eyebrows, and the horizontal hairline makes a dodgy beard.
These images document how much I have enjoyed mixing processes in the project, from the Photoshop manipulation, then the photocopying degrading to the simple acetate distortion which adds a gloss to the image and a touch of class to the final appearance. The series of these images are documented into a concertina booklet as I felt it necessary to see the set as one or individually.
