Based on the artist Wes Newman and his series of tape and rubber bands I decided to make some work in response, based on the whole idea of distortion and how retouching beauty (models) cand distort beauty or atleast your own perception of it. I started by giving tape to my peers and asked them to wrap their faces with it, I took the same approach as Newman and then simply took photographs of these weird distorted looking humans, at first it was funny but looking at the images it seems very disturbing and hurtful. Furthermore I experimented with cling film, I wanted to add my own medium to it so it wasny directly copied; it was a good experiment but I preferred the tape because it kind of distorted the face more which is what I was trying to indicate.
