This week I ended up focusing primarily on collaging images together and I’m really liking how they’re turning out. I’ve been finding with my painted photos that they can feel redundant and nothing new is really happening with it. To get out of that, I thought I might expand my methods in how I am making the images. The images I am collaging come from my everyday work life and Colorado. The images from Colorado are also further edited, seeming almost surreal/unreal, similar to how my own memory is perceiving that trip.
This is my favorite set you’ve done! I love the one with the buildings. I really think you should continue in this direction! I don’t know if this is intentional or not, but I also really like the colors in the photos. They all seem to be a muted earthy tone and to me that gives it a sense of nastalgia which definitely fits with your memory/experience vibe.
I agree, these are visually exciting, collage seems related to what you were doing before, disrupting the image, but maybe in a more intentional way…
