3/2/2018 0 Comments Altering a Figure ChallengeThis week one of the challenges in class was to find an image of a person in a magazine and alter their identity using shapes, patterns, and color. I found the black and white image in a magazine an thought the man looked interesting, so I started by cutting him out of the magazine. Then I used the pattern of his tattoo to create lines on his body. Then, I found the background image in another magazine and used it as the mirror image of the man. However, the two versions of him contrast through bright colors, and the lack thereof. Then, I used the pattern of the cross design once again to cut out around the man in the background. Although I wasn't certain of the meaning behind this piece when I was creating it, I now see that it appears as though he is back to back with himself. His tattoo reads "Only God can judge me," indicating that he has liberated himself to do whatever he would like under the basis that only God judges. And he has turned his back on his own self-convictions, perhaps unwilling to face the person he truly is.
