Collage.

I absolutely loev collaging, from doing my GCSE sketcbook covers to now. I have like three HUGE boxes of magazine rip outs and paper smaples, tea bags, and different textures. Opening them boxes is like opening pandoras box, bloody love a good day to root through that and college. I collect everuthing old, smelly, fells nice, looks twee and just the weird and wonderful. Got some plug ins to a car amp or something out of a bilding rain last week, have no clue what they say or mean but just took a liking to them.

I get excited about new college materials as the fashion police do about a new range of fingerless gloves! Cant wait to get home and make make make!
Ive been studying emotions through college, drawing public into college and a range of feelings that provoke from the individuals personality.

So everybody loves a little controversy...I picked up a vogue magazine and they were doing an artcle in africa with these sombre faces and then on the opposite page would mirror the exact opposite, the advertisement for a Ralf Lauren bag... It sparked interest and i wanted to make it a more close, controversial affair. I have done two like this and maybe want to do some more with other pats of poverty.

I have also done some standard, run of the mill ones i like to do, that are just about placement and subject matter. I Do my colleges based on texture and placement.
To make sure they look ok when i come back to them, i take a photo and look at that and see of pits looks like a finished piece.
