Exploring collage further

After working on collage on a small scale and in the developmental stage, I am now more interested in creating larger collages using my photographs.

I have done some smaller experimentation on different materials where I have printed out my photographs onto different textured sheets or onto materials with different transparencies, e.g. printing onto tracing paper, acetate etc. By printing on larger scale I can enhance the features in my prints and work more with merging together images. I have already experimented with overlays using photoshop but I want to work on layering images manually such as cutting up images and creating compositions.


I am interested in creating different organic qualities with my photographs by just using the textures and appearences of the materials that I am printing onto. This also brings me forward to looking at additional features, such as adding textures like sugar to paint or adding thread to my pieces to highlight and enhance my pieces further to express the natural element themes.
