Abigail Reynolds

Abigail Reynolds is an artist that experiments with cutting up and folding photos using old images with new ones, also with colours that complement with each other.


I chose these two images of Marilyn Monroe. One as a normal natural photo and the other image as pop up style image by famous artist Andy Warhol. I wanted to make both of this photos work well together by having a simple image contrasting with a very bright and bold image. You can tell that they are the same person because of her distinguishing looks that are recognised across the world because of her bleach blonde hair and her red lips.




Here is my final outcome of Reynolds work. I used pink sugar paper to link with the pink in the pop image of Monroe. You can mainly see the pop-art image the most but as you look close enough you can see  the more natural image of her underneath showing through. 


All in all this experiment was quite simple to complete but still is effective when you look at it.
