Last week I had been thinking about putting my images back onto my skin or someone else's I came across Imme Van Der Haak's 'Beyond the Body'. "Photos of the human body are printed onto translucent silk which will create the possibility of physically layering different body’s, ages, generations and identities." I really like the idea of layering part of someone onto someone else. I could layer some of my images on to Vicky maybe, using a projector. I thought about collaging my distorted images back onto my body and distort myself that way, but decided I didn't want to use that technique again. So instead I decided to layer my images over one another to distort the distorted. I printed my favourite images on acetate and tracing paper and played around with composition. Some of the images are in black and white and some are in colour. You can see the bottom layers coming through the top creating multiple textures. It's interesting how the acetate layers reflect the light to give a glossy feel. This is very similar to the qualities in my other images that catch/reflect the light such as the tape and cling film.
