The photos this week show my full piece from last week and details of it. Though it didn't turn out exactly as I had anticipated, I felt that I had tied my idea together well using the Fibonacci spiral as a base. I got some good suggestions in critique and have thought about how I can continue to expand my idea through my work. For this coming class I am currently working on making smaller photo-collages using the same basic design. I have found many images of spirals and circles in nature to use and I think the photographic aspect will make the comparisons I am trying to make more apparent than rendering did. I may continue to use rendering as I expand my idea further, however. I have also included one image of my first tester photo-collage. After making this one, which is a combination of random images, I am working on choosing common themes for each image, like parts of the body, flowers/plants or color for example. I hope that by doing this my images will become more unified and less random, making their purpose more clear. I would like to make at least 5 before I move on to a new idea, but I will see how Tuesday's work day is and go from there.
