Water Collages

        This week I started a project based on the idea of water. First i just started to think about water. What is it? What does it do? Where can you find it? How can is be describe or interpreted? Pulled form these questions I wrote down anything that came to mind that could be related to water in some shape or form. Next I  collected random pages cut out from magazines that had nothing to do with water and created two collages what than represented water. Below are the two collages that came form this exercise.

        This first piece is based on the idea of the ocean and the waves that exist. I tried to pull colors that are most apparent when one thinks of water and started to layer them in a manner that represents the water, the waves and the many levels that exist in the ocean. 

        The second piece is based on a feeling or time that includes water. I started to think about when it was raining and the ripples that are seen in puddles what it is raining. This one is probably one of my favorites because to me it creates a feeling and a place that is fun and relaxing.
