Photo Collage

 

 

Each mixed-media photo collage is based on original, un-retouched photographic images of objects seen every day… windows, doors or buildings. Some prints are mounted with a release paper adhesive to foam board, creating the third dimension of depth, while others remain as flat photographic surfaces. They are then cut out eliminating unnecessary or distracting elements. The mood created through the edited photographs is expanded by employing a variety of materials and techniques. Along with blueprints, wood, wire, paper, stamps, paint, colored pencil, pins, beads or other articles which enhance the feeling the images themselves impart, the photographs are re-assembled to become the focus of three-dimensional mixed-media constructions. The final collage is mounted with gel medium on archival-quality mat board. The completed pieces are titled and framed under glass in canvas-depth moldings, in antique boxes or mounted on painted canvas grounds.
