art in the city | portfolio | collage
This collage represented an attempt to create a figurative representation using a layering of scotch-tape transfers from weekly newspapers. Image and text was lifted from newsprint and then affixed to a piece of mylar with drafted pencil and a gauche wash. Once transferred, the image was mobile in the sense that it was always possible to reconfigure it by either moving the strips of tape or adding new elements. The pencil as well as the gauche wash also was movable using tape transfer method. The process was a real material analogy to archaic versions of Photoshop.
