I didn't have plans going into the project, but I kept finding really dark and violent images populated by waif-like models, so I collected the images and collaged them together. I knew the collage would be time consuming, searching for materials and cutting out the details, but it ended up taking longer than expected (doesn't everything?). The process reminded me of photomanipulation in photoshop, and taking my own photos and editing/painting them digitally is a project I might try later in the semester.
The idea for collage came from Richard Hamilton, a member of the Independent Group, who created collages from American advertisements such as Just What Is It That Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing?
