my collages

🠈 back to gallery

over the past couple years i've started to practice making collages. at the moment, i'm still very much experimenting with the process. a few of these were developed for my architecture thesis using methods taught to me by a professor, and most of my collages still follow these methods. the practice is simply to print high-quality, professional architectural photos, cut them with an xacto, tape and glue into cool hybrid architecture.

while my current method allows me to be very intentional about my source material, i think there's something really interesting about the sort of readymade found object aspect of collage and have been experimenting with working faster with scraps and junk. i'm hoping this will also help me be more efficient at choosing my sources and making more difficult seams.

also, this process is entirely physical, paper collage. i've done a lot of digital collage in the past, but i'm not really any good at it. i like xacto blades.

as a final note: sorry for uploading low-res versions of my art. it helps the page load faster lol
