After experimenting with animations, I thought the outcomes looked too flat and quite boring because the animations only flicked through a variety of images and it did not really tell a story. Film and animation are not a strong point of mine, however, editing and Photoshop are. As I have edited many photos for my final piece, I still wanted to keep them as they are. I wanted to somehow convey my editing process through my final piece as this is one of my strengths.

Upon further research of other artists, I came across Judith Clark’s website. I saw some PDFs that were titled ‘Catalogues’ and within these Clark has created catalogue/zines focusing on exhibitions. After looking through a few of these, I saw that Clark had simply put some images and text together to comment on an exhibition, that would also accompany it. The catalogues were filled with abstract artefacts and illustrations paired with different typography that explained the work.

This research has given me the idea to pick 3 of the images that I have edited. I only chose 3 as there will quite a few edited images to follow. I am going to chose the most abstract ones, where the body has been completely removed and all that stands is the garment, like a sculpture in illustration form (Figure 1). I will mount these on to the wall for the audience to look at. My intention is that the images look so abstract that the audience questions what the final piece is. I will also create a small zine that will accompany the mounted images in which all my edited images are presented from the series. This will convey to the audience how I have achieved the finished product, by editing the model out completely. I hope that this final piece will convey how fabric manipulates the body, as the garments that I have created have entirely changed the body and they are unrecognisable with the model’s limbs and face.
