Untitled Landscape 5
My appropriated photographic work is a series of digital collages that are made from image fragments and partials reformed into landscapes. I collect screen shots from social media sites that I alter with phone apps, glitch, and digital collage. Often the work will include a combination of digital collage and hand drawn elements displayed in a nontraditional wall layout.
This series of work, “Sense of Place” investigates the nature of identity through the lens of social media. The work attempts to discuss what it means to be living, divided, between two realms of existence: tangible and digital. The work reflects on ideas of distraction, clarity, and realness through the physical explorations of a non-traditional frame: reflecting on absence in negative space.
These two collages are altered with Glitch apps and manipulated in Photoshop. The blurriness is intentional.
