In project four, I would like to focus on creating digital collage stills and gifs centered on the theme of surrealism.
I want to meld the worlds of dream and reality in a way that feels juxtaposed into an uncanny and eerie world.
I plan on using photoshop and illustrator to combine aspects of scanned images, along with digital found images, to create pieces that feel stitched into a mixed media realm. In terms of inspiration, I have been looking to the founders of surrealism, such as Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Pablo Picasso, and Max Ernst. I have also been evaluating the techniques of digital surrealist artists, such as Alice Zilberberg, Sofia Crespo, and Justin Peters.
One of the reasons I chose to do collage is because it allows for a freedom in the way it incorporates layers upon layers of old visual stories into the development of new narratives.
