Harmony in Collage

For there two collages, I focused more on using the found things and trash I picked up on South Congress. When making these image, I was thinking of human consumption and how what we take into ourselves often define who we are. I used the glove, thread, and found advertisement to show carnal consumption and give the image a kind of creepy gory movie feeling. I felt that these different materials really worked together despite their varying textures and connotations.

Another concept I was thinking about was how the things people consume can change the mood of a person, or even give them character. The cup the man was holding matched the cups I found on South Congress, and the image of the cup really communicated consumption to me because the cup is a vessel for consuming things and can serve as a representation of intake. I was also thinking about how when people consume things, they gain power, energy, and ability to do extraordinary things. Using the cups as a substrate seemed to tie the image together through color and content.
