Collages

From the beginning of this project I was infatuated with the idea of a building block, and this idea relates back to my theme in the Gestalt project. Nature has it’s very complex and unique set of building blocks that differ from man’s constructs. Even though man is a product of nature, his constructions are not as intricate or complex as nature. I demonstrated this idea by using fractals to form natural constructs. I scanned rocks and plants I found on S Congress, put them into a pattern, and produced a figure that resembles something in nature– collage 1 being a tree (scanned plants) and collage 2 being a mountain (scanned rocks).
