Art work: Mimi Spirits by Thompson Nganjmirra - Mimi spirits are nonphysical beings who have been present and active since Creation and are attributed to the Kunwinjku people, of Kakadu. This blog has been developed to display my work for the City and Guild Level III Certificate in Embroidery with Sian Martin of Distant Stitch and other interesting photos of Australia and inspirations from my travels around the world.

Black and White Image
As a precursor to the Shape Observation in black and white I have copied the original photograph of the wall in black and white to obtain a feel for the shading of the piece.
I have cut these shapes and rearranged them on a white background (below) to give an idea about the shapes that the separate rocks create.
I found this interesting as it altered my ideas about how the different shapes were structured when they were cut out separately and did not relate to the overall wall.
I will use these as a base for the Shape Observations.
I will also create solid black shapes by eye and with cutting and tearing the paper to see what different effects these create.

You can also use the negatives shapes which will emerge when you cut your shapes out.
Try ripping or tearing - carefully.
