Geraldine Georges Inspired-Experiemntal Work

Experiment No. 1

Just like Geraldine Georges, I've attempted to recreate her images by hand. In comparison to digital experimentation, I would say that hand made experiments give an advantage over the ease & freedom of creativity as well as the fact that you have to think carefully on what your going todo as there is no "undo" button to take back whatever you've done.

With Experiment No. One, I have attempted to use various shapes to obscure certain parts of the subject which was cut out by hand and stuck down onto a blank piece of paper. The violet circles where positioned to represent part of the hat's circular edge. As well as this, I also tried to mirror the body of the model by sticking another copy of her upside down. The placement of the triangles where a little bit random but where placed in a faint attempt to engage the viewers eyes to look over the entire scene diaganaly.


Experiment No. Two Consisted of a more basic but three-dimensional approach. Using the triangular template to cut out the yellow triangles in Experiment No. One, I decided to use cut out a segment of the models face and stick this on the triangle piece. 

The idea was to lift the face of the model above the surface to give greater recognition of the subjects features.
