Brief 2 Opposites

My final outcome for this brief focuses on the opposite that is the living and the dead. I particularly like the layering of the effects in this piece. The skull looks as if it has been burnt into the paper and it also has a transparent effect. In order to develop this piece I would consider designing a background for my collage.

Bolin Zhang

 Danai Gkoni

I really like the effect of digital collage and decided to conduct further research into artists who specialise in this area.  I came across the works of Bolin Zhang and Danai Gkoni which are visually very interesting. Zhang combines historical photographs with modern elements in her pieces mixing the past with the present. Gkoni is inspired by her environment such as the surrounding architecture and textures, this is evident in her work. When working on collage in the future I would consider taking my own photographs and collecting a collection of textures.
