35 cm x 56 cm Multimedia collage composed of acrylic paint, paper and gel pen. It was created through inverting, resizing, printing, tearing apart and putting together one composition of faces and hands.
“Perception” portrays how some may feel estranged from familiar settings amidst dissociative episodes.
I took this photo to make it look like Colin was balancing on Aleah's hand. I had to crop Vic out because it did not look like he was on her hand. I wish I would have had a plain background so there would not have been a lot of distractions like the man in the back. I used a shutter speed of 1/10 and it should have been a little faster to let in more light. I used an ISO of 100 and an aperture of f/18.
writer's block: a usually temporary condition in which a writer finds it impossible to proceed with the writing of a novel, play, or other work.
"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thru' narrow chinks of his cavern"

This piece is called 'PDH' (‘Perception of Distortion in the Home’.) I have looked at how people hide their true selfs from the world around them. This leads to people changing their personalities in order to fit in with others. I have shown by using my home as an example. for example outsiders have a distorted idea of my home life, because it appears to them differently from how it is in reality. The reason for this is because when people se us we hide what we are truly liked in order not to be judged. I have tried to show this in different ways. I have shown this through the 3-D shapes which are minimalist sculptures showing an abstract representation of furniture at home. Their curved and abstract forms show the distorted perception that other people have of what is actually quite normal. In creating this piece, I have been inspired by the work of Esher and Noble. Esher uses distortion to create a sense of mystery in his art. I have attempted to do this by distorting images almost to a level of abstraction, leaving the viewer to make their own interpretation. I have also been inspired by the way that Noble creates a surreal world. In a way my house has become like that too, through the positioning of the pieces, on the floor, wall and ceiling.
