I AM NOW ATTEMPTING TO WHITTLE MY WORK DOWN TO ACCCEPTABLE PRINTS FOR MARKING.
I HAVE PROBABLY CHOSEN THE INCORRECT PICTURES TO HAND IN.
THIS IMAGE HAS ONLY SLIGHTLY BEEN MANIPULATED, IN THE SENSE THAT I HAVE ADDED THE BLOOD, DRIPPING FROM THE CROSS AND DOCTORED THE SHADOW CAST BY THE CRUCIFIX THE VIRGIN IS HOLDING - WHICH, IF YOU LOOK, HAS BECOME A SWASTIKA (THIS BEING THE MOST SUBTLE OF MY IMAGES).
THIS HAS BEEN A MOST INTERESTING ASSIGNMENT. THOUGH I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN MORE TIME TO ADAPT AND MODIFY MY IDEAS. ICONOCLASM IS A VERY TIME CONSUMING SUBJECT.
ARTISTS SUCH AS KENNARD AND HEARTFIELD ARE WORTHY OF NOTE. THEY ARE THE TWO MAIN PROTAGONISTS OF THIS ARTISTIC MEDIUM (PHOTOMONTAGE) WHO HAVE ANYTHING (WORTHY) TO IMPART.
IMAGES SHOULD SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. IF I HAVE TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING THEN IT DEFEATS THE POINT OF THE IMAGE BEING CREATED.
