I decided to begin making some visual work using found imagery that is relevant to my themes. I don't usually work with collage, but it is a useful way of considering composition more formally, and is different from my usual line drawings.
As I've been looking at things like pottery, quilts, and murals throughout my research - collage is quite similar in a way, considering shapes and their layout to make an overall picture.
Here are some examples from my sketchbook:
Next time, I'd like to use my own photographs if possible and try to integrate some more hand-drawn elements as I think that collage can be quite impersonal at times. There is no evidence of who made it, no marks made. It's mostly about cutting pre-made objects or materials and assembling them.
I'll also have to think of how I can make the themes/concept more meaningful or stronger.
