Evolution...

So in doing this project i got too into the final piece that i shot myself in the foot before i had even started. I had accumulated so much collagable materials and was so focused on how i wanted the final piece to look that i just couldn't start i didn't know where to begin.
So my boyfriend suggested i tried a style completely different to what i had planned in my head and recommended trying photo collage. Now i have tried digital photo collage before, and again i found it hard because any picture you think of, can be found on the Internet, and this leaves no challenge in the composition. So i have decided to use old books and magazines to cut and stick compositions together the analogue way.
Ive done a few so far and they have come out better than expected. They look alot better photocopied and printed onto a good paper stock but for the moment here are the working progresses.






There are more, but i feel i want to get them scanned in from the photocopies and get them up as photographs don't do them any justice.

Peace x
