Control

I began experimenting with a selection of the photographs, being suggestive instead of obvious, working mostly in black and white representing negativity; and so I decided on working small as I didn't want the images to be seen as clearly and then using text and other elements to cover up the images almost...representing control.

Black biro stencilled text

Pencil stencilled text

Carved out and pencil stencilled text

Black and 'skin toned' thread applied using a sewing machine on different settings

Lines of black thread applied in repeated lines using a sewing machine

Repetition of pencil handwritten words

Pencil stencilled text alongside the covering of splashes of white emulsion and the carving of the word 'LIES'

This time using the original coloured photographs I again covered the images using splashes of white emulsion
