For this project we were asked to deconstruct our images that we had taken on South Congress to create new ones in the form of collages. This, to me, was incredibly challenging. I was overwhelmed by all that I could do with my images both on photoshop and by hand so I felt immobilized. After discussing this with my professors I created strict guidelines for myself so that I could work within a constrained area. Through this I created the collages below. I picked images that I hadn’t worked with before, and scans that I thought might fit with the images. For each collage I picked three images, and a scan of something I had found on South Congress. When working with these images I discovered that through collaging I could get far away from anything that looked or felt like South Congress. This project became a refresher because as predicted, the street can become old. In this project we took our own work and reconstructed it into something that felt like nothing like the street the images came from.
