As I worked on these collages this week, I wanted to try different approaches, whether it was directly layer image son top of each other or putting them side by side. I also found that the imagery I wanted to use changed slightly as a result of my upcoming trip to Japan. While I have been utilizing imagery from my last vacation to Colorado, I have found that I have been thinking more and more about Japan and decided to incorporate imagery from there form my previous trips I have taken there. Everyday I have been thinking non-stop about it and remembering all of the places I have been to before, and knowing that I will soon have the chance to go back there has honestly been what’s getting me through the week. In the final two images here, I used photos from a hike I took in Kyoto the last time I was there.
Wow Lindsay, are you using wax… to resist here? These are really beautiful images, I especially enjoy that you are using mixed media techniques!
Thanks Brette! I’m not using wax on these. I found that if you print on the reverse side of photo paper the image is less clear and you can manipulate the ink with water
The contrast between the lush images of nature collaged with urban school decay is really powerful
The top 2 images and the bottom 2 are fantastic! I love the thoughtful precise cutout combinations.
