Over the course of this project, I am going to create a photo-montage to display the relationship of time and space within the environments I photograph. The concept of time and space come together to emphasize the idea of a process as well. By compressing, extending, cutting, and pasting different images together into one composition, I hope to convey my own personal encounter and process of observing and existing within certain environments.
This composition consists of embedding five different photographs I took while walking to class. The images are arranged so that the first creates the border for the fourth, and the fourth for the third, until the final image in the middle. What makes this composition effective are the lines of perspective created by the wall, sidewalk, and road. So as you view the image, it is similar to watching the entire walk in one frame. I also used a grid pattern in order to break the images apart, to make it more readable.
This image is a collage of photos of my father and I doing many exaggerated expressions. In this piece I hoped to convey the idea of shared family traits and the process of aging.
In the image above I wanted to show the process of creating a painting. In order to do this, I layered preliminary sketches and modeling images on top of the final piece. This idea for a composition is intriguing to me because I love to paint and I find it an interesting notion to be able to track an artists step by step process of creating while still being able to observe the piece.
The idea behind this composition is to create a map-like image from the view of my dorm room in which the major landmarks between myself and the horizon are superimposed so the viewer may easily interpret relative spacing of each structure.
In order to convey the process of my own personal experience with the statues and architecture of Lippincott Hall, I arranged elements of the photographs in a manner which renders the aspects I found most noteworthy and relatable in a heiratic order.
All of these are interesting, particularly the top two. Try one as a left-to-right transition from you to your Dad.--sort of a timeline within a face. The bottom collage may be resolved right now.
