Surface Research and Destroy- 'Signs'








SIGNS
This was a very experimental project for me. After choosing to incorporate photography in to this project, I decided to kind of elaborate on the idea from my last project- by collaging photos together in an interesting way, theoretically creating a whole new piece. I also decided to use photographs that I had taken of graffiti signs/messages (again, elaborating on my last project) to try and give my pieces a meaning or subject, as well as an attempt at creating unity, so all seven could also be seen as a whole piece.
As stated earlier, this piece was very experimental, and I tried a lot of things (as far as composition, teqnique, etc) that I wasn't entirely sure about. Some things worked, and some didn't; a common result of experimentation. Some pieces are definitely more dynamic than others, and I can't say that I'm happy with all of them, but I am pleased that I was able to create something interesting with photographs that I had never thought of using for anything else. :)
