Vogue Series In-Progress

The Fracture series developed from the unused scrapes of a previous project. Having recently graduated with a masters degree in Painting I was looking to conserve money and materials. Trying to cultivate a sustainable studio practice, I picked up some canvas scraps and started cutting out shapes. The subject matter of the previous project referenced the idea of fracture so it made sense conceptually to further fragment the imagery. All of the images were originally collected from individuals during their daily Internet perusal and put into a physical environment. By making those transient images more permanent it allowed viewers to interact with them in a different way, evoking at times a feeling of overstimulation. The fracture series takes already fragmented imagery and brakes it down further, creating a sense of visual overload that intensifies with each collage as the imagery gets cut into smaller pieces. The shapes become more overlapped and chaotic as the series progresses.
