My design work:
graphic & digital design, plus collage.
*:
I made my first
collage when I was 5, and the process of collecting little bits
of stuff and frankensteining them into something new has appealed
to me ever since.
Part of it is
a magpie collecting fetish thing I suppose, the gathering of fragments
to create an altogether new and larger whole. I find the processes
of collage and still photography similar. I'm one of those photographers
who identifies and captures something that is already present in
an environment. I don't create it from scratch. With
collage I gather images that look as though they belong together,
and then I make my message/picture.
Collage is the
art of aesthetic cultural garbage recycling. Sometimes I have to
turn something into garbage in order to make it useable.
