My work is influenced a lot by the methods used in hypnotherapy, the idea of repeating a negative image until it is learned as positive. Therefore I decided after I cut out a pattern, I would use the off-cuts (i.e the negative space of the image) and collage it, mainly as a way for me to have a break from cutting! I liked the innocent and simple image this made, but also the very literal way of turning something negative into a positive. This could be something to delve deeper into, and produce some really interesting work along this idea.
