Plan for project

As I have been getting stressed over the sheer amount of pieces I have been working on I have decided to make a brief plan - to help me figure out how to link together my photography series and also produce the most effective collection of work for display.

So far:
I have realised that in many ways my smaller prints are more interesting than my larger prins - mainly because of the finer details I can put into the small prints, how the manual editing appears subtle so you have to get up-close to see details and also how the smaller prints can be used to create a series of work to show not only transition but also create contrasts with the pieces.
I have worked on the larger prints last week and today - looking at layering images, adding additional materials and collage.
But I want to work more of the smaller prints - combining my different photography series.

I plan to print some of my new 'Organism' pieces out as photographs and some of my 'Organic' pieces and merging them together using collage and additional materials such as thread,texture(sugar/sand), paint, wire etc. I find it less intimadating to work on smaller prints when doing the manual edits because when the images are smaller the materials and little details seem to work more effectively. I am going to work on smaller prints over the next few days to produce a series of pieces - but I want to work on a slightly larger scale than the previous ones I have done so that I can add more materials to the works.
I have decided that I like working on the photographic paper the most with these manual edits. (this is kind of like a resolution!) It is the most effective and the most interesting. I will print off some more images tomorrow from Max Spielmann (my local photograph printing centre!) depicting my favourite 'Organism' prints. I intend to spend the day manually combining these prints with my 'Organic' prints - I want to create a combination in the most interesting ways and also develop a series of pieces.
These are the images I will be printing (possibly more if I decide on the day):

I chose these images because I believe they will be the most interesting when combined with other materials due to their colours, form and arrangement/angle. I plan to combine these with 'Organic' as well - looking at the similarities and connections both creatures and plantation has in life cycle - refering back to the project concepts.

I have a few prints I want to do on photographic paper, these are:

 

 

As well as these I have some other prints that I can work with when combining the images; these are:

I am looking forward to creating interesting collages with these pieces - working towards a conclusive collection of work.
