Looking at Warhol's screen tests for the last time I am starting to see the beauty of the simplicity, how interesting it is to watch someone, wanting them to move just slightly so you know the 'still image' is in fact moving image. Here you find yourself staring at Nico, trying to understand the way she is feeling as she gives hardly anything away. For me, this can become frustrating as the movement is so obvious you almost expect to be able to read her easily. I want to expand on what Warhol is doing here and create my own art which is not as obvious. By reducing the movement even more than Warhol is doing I would be able to create a very fine line between whether the image is still or whether it was moving. Combining the two I intend to create a sense of calm, illustrating the way emotion can be so hard to read.
