Untitled

This is a collage work that uses layers of images, books, inventory, and texture to represent consciousness and how memory is held and obscured by how our memories are processed. This work is about 6ft by 6ft on canvas and used a process of elimination to get to the desired result. By removing away layers (im im not mistaken there are 15) more is revealed through the process of elimination to show us what lies beneath the surface of the collage.
Learning Outcomes:
This was a completely new experience for me. I had always made my collages digitally but being able to actually work in an analog manner was a big risk but i felt it payed off. It is the start of a practice i look forward to trying more and more of.
