Cindy Sherman

I really enjoy looked at Cindy Shermans work, I find her work very intense.
She has inspired me to look at the human identy and how if we slightly change a feature on ourselfs we look totally different. Thats backs up my idea of me changeing my hair to create a different look.  I really Like her set of phots of a young girl, each time she makes a minute change to her face and the girl looked completely different.



Monoprint with painting

I then desided to make my prints look my pop art, i would add add paint. I used some pastic bright colours in blocks to make the work stand out more. i would like to use one of of the pieces
and maybe make into a pattern.
I started by just adding block colour to the hair.
Then i thought hair and face, to make the hair stand out.

Then i coloured the backround, but im not sure if i like it so much.
Maybe it was the choice of colours



Some more of the monoprints...

Spainish hairstyle.. When i was little i would have my hair like this to look my spainish.


Journey project for printmarking

My idea has come from the journey i take with my looks. I am baseing my idea on the way on the way i change my hair so frecquently. I recreate the way i look thought my hair i change my hair to what fits with fashion. I feel i hide behind my hair thats why i change it so much as i never quite feel happy with it.
I find it interesting how the identy of a person changes so much from such small changes. I thought of the idea of pop art and the way Andy Warhol captures icons and to me my hair is my icon. So for my monoprint work i explored basic lines and ideas. I didnt want to add detail to my face as i feel i hide behind it so i dont look no further.
This is what i produced..
