Final Pieces

Because of the problems with my cast I had to change the way i did my final piece. However, it did not matter as the means to the end were the same. I deliberately chose to put the body of the barbie black, not only to stand out but also as it would add to the "distorted" image of the barbie. I felt the black would make it less about the head and more about the body, and ridicule the typical barbie doll that has existed for years.

I used newspaper clippings to create the word "Beauty" with a question mark. A question of society, image and mass media. I used newsprint as it is a recognised image and to make it slightly more impersonal. I wanted it to be an idea, but not an apathetic one, just simply a point that could exist.

For the background I used a print of the word distortion that was back to front and upside down and also printed lightly so that it was also "distorted".
