Collages

The process of taking apart images I had recorded to truly make an image was very difficult for me at first. I had grown attached to my images and it took a few tries before I really understood what I needed to do in order to make images that are my own. I did my best to pull colors and textures from my original photographs, not “things.” I think I accomplished this in my first collage, by taking the attributes of my subjects and using them without showing what they actually are. However, in my second collage, I took a different approach and chose to make something a little more in my element. I combined a few different scanned items and applied some more graphic design oriented techniques to create something that looks more like an object. I really enjoyed playing with methods and exploring what I could do to the different elements of a photo to create an image.
