Hockney

As I'm working I realize that my work is starting to resemble something close to what David Hockney does in his work.  I'm piecing together different views of the same pillow in order to have the illusion of several pillows. Hockney does something similar to this in his photo collages except he leave large areas of white in between some of his pieces.  I did not immediately think of him until after I put my pieces together but now that I do I question whether I should have so much weight at the bottom of my picture plane.  Maybe I should spread it out a little like Hockney, but then wouldn't I just be copying Hockney? Definitely not in content; furthermore, I plan to add drawing elements to his piece but then does it really need it? I actually started drawing a pillow, with plans to put drawn pillow among the photo pillows. It might be too much and I might just be asking myself a lot of questions that no one else can answer for me. I guess the only thing getting in the way is myself, which is kinda what this one is about.
On a side note about Daivd Hockney.  His work is worth checking out if you don't already know about him. http://www.hockneypictures.com/works_drawings_00_25.php
This link will lead you specifically to his recent drawings, which are a personal favorite.  I enjoy the textures he creates with his drawings of foliage.  I've always held a great appreciation for drawing and I think I should do more of it.
