The process of paper cutting simply involves removing a
portion of the image, within the first example I created this removal was based
on the tone, as I removed area of darkness. I have then overlaid the cut-out
against various tones and textures, as pictured; this has given the image a
very ‘Pop Art’ and graphic look. I wish to progress this further through means
of various cut-outs of each main tone within the photograph, and then
reassemble the tones by means of painting through the stencils.
The second image I created involved a completely different
process, most similar to collage as I combined the original image, for which I used
for my first paper cut, with an image page from an aged book. In combining
these two photographic images I have recontextualised each of them and their
pairing gives a new meaning to the image as a whole, I based it upon a split/varying
personality within a person, represented by placement of an image in the head,
displaying the mind, of an argument between two distinct characters. The
scholar representing his drive and desire to achieve, against a tramp,
representing his inherent laziness and the lack of effort he wishes to put into
a task, both wrestling with his yet undecided results.
