Images From Images

This was the larger image of a 1"x 1" cut out square from an index card. This card was the word "Rose" which came off the card with my signature "Kayla Rose". I picked this because a signature is a very personal/unique aspect of a person's identity. Personally, I am very attached to my middle name so it was important for me to incorporate it into the projects using my personal Identity. To make this I wrote out the signature part with a hot glue gun. I then Spray painted it red (like a rose). I then tore the hot glue off and re-glued it slightly above the original like a shadow. This technique I had experimented with when doing the tiny pictures project on the index cards.
This image is of a blown up version of an image on an index card with another index card image cut out. Dancing is a really important part of my identity, as well as Judaism. Dance is basically my life, which is what the hebrew letters mean, life. First I painted the paper blue, my favorite color. Then I used an xacto knife to cut out the "chai" and cut out a large silhouette and pasted it on.
This is an image incorporating an index card into a larger piece of work. Recently I have gotten into target shooting as a hobby and hobbies are an important part of a persons identity. The gun is a xerox transfer that I then cut out. The vertical image in an index car where I drew with a glue gun, spray painted over it, then tore off the glue. This is supposed to be the smoke coming out of the gun. The part on the left is a xerox transfer of a bullet and the air around it after having been shot. Last term we did some work with xerox transfers and I really liked the look of it. I have been incorporating this technique into my other works.
