In the aftermath of my eight hour art exam, I thought I'd take some time to write up the process. The last you've heard of my art topic was with the zip edits, and my work on those. I began to work more into this, experimenting further with layers and text. Here is a large canvas I did in preparation for my exam. As you can see, I used cardboard layers to display other pieces from the collection of ones I did in this area. I also used laser cut stencils to print on some text, using quotes from Millicent Fawcett, Martin Luther King Jr, and Mala Yousafzai. All of these amazing people 'broke' the constraints of their different cultures and society- much like I have been trying to present with the zip concept.
From here, I went on to take another photoshoot, using myself as the model (in order to reference Cindy Sherman's self-portraits which I had researched earlier) and began to edit these pieces, before creating digital paintings of these.

From all of this, I went on to create my final piece: on top of a canvas print of one of my digital paintings, I built onto it using cardboard layers, text, zips and paint. I think this effect is really successful, because of all of the many different elements that have gone into it. I especially like how all the different parts of my work since September seem to thread through it. It relates well to the topic of 'Rehash Remix and Edit', whilst also exhibiting some of my different skills. Now I just have to prepare for my next topic!
