developing collage style



















The scenes of the illustrations are again random picked. It is for me to develop a new style and character that suits the theme identity. The illustration above contains a map of Italy (her skirt) this could refer to her nationality which is a great part of someone’s identity. The flowers add colours and a happy scenery, but the background contains a bit of grey which causes a dramatic effect.

All the materials used are collected during the day. The things around us can tell a little bit about ourselves. The books we read (the flowers are made from a textbook) the tea we drink (her hair is coloured with cinnamon tea and adds a scent to the paper (you have to trust me on this, if someone wants to publish it, I can ask the publisher if it is possible to add some scents to the paper ).

The cardigan of the girl below is made of a clothing label-clothes (dessins, colours, style) tell a little bit about your mood and character and a brand tells us something about the group of people you want to be associated.

Other materials used are math paper (is that the correct word?) it refers to building and (re)constructing an identity. I have used label stickers which refers to the labeling of identity, when people met for the first time they tend to give someone a label: a preppy girl, a skater boy etc.
The map normally used in an archive can refer to our identity in a hospital or government agency.
For them we are just a number in a map.
