Collages

In this collage I tried to make links between the squares for example by continuing the line of one sqare into the next. I also looked at similar patterns repeated in the "by shape" series. and in the green "by colour" series, i looked at lines leading through the series, and colour changing through the squares. In the "by texture" series, i took squares all from on black and white image, and isolated interesting patterns that you would have overlooked in the image as a whole but that are very interesting when taken out of context. Taking the squares from a black and white image removes colour from the equation and makes the texture the focus more.


In the second collage I like the "by shape" series the best. I chose abstract shapes from pictures that were for example part of a door, but within the square they make interesting abstract shapes. I also like the red "by colour" row, which is very deep reds that show intersting textures and patterns that lead through the similar colour range. I also experimented with taking multiple squares from the same magizine image, for exaple in the 1st "by size" row, where smaller and larger flower patterns on the same dress are selected. Also in the "by texture" I selected an image of hair, that is two squares from next to each other in the photo, but put here make you look at the different texture of the arm, the hair and the ends of the hair against the red background.
