sunday recycling session
Today I am sketching from my dioramas. This is a new way of working for me that I discovered recently. I have started to recycle my work.. First I photocopied a lot of images from newpapers and stuff I had lying about in my room, as well as some photos I had taken and sketches and that. Then I cut them all up and played about with compositions and collage. This then morphed into dioramas which are like 3D collages - I made all the photocopies little card stands, played with more compositions and scenes and took photos of them. Tidied them up on photoshop, then drew from the compositions I’d made as a guide to a final spread.. You can see two steps of the process in the photos above. The sketch is roughly A4 size. I’ve enlarged it to about 4 times the original size and am intending to work back into it…possibly with acrylic. I am excited about the concept of continually rebuilding and working into an image…I think this could be good for me and my crappy attention span…
…watch this space!
nay.
