Collage - The Best Bits Year 2

Things started to get all conceptual in the 2nd year, kicking off with Psychogeography: "the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals."

Our mission was to choose a circular geographic route on a map, walk it, and create art from it. I chose a route around Glasgow City Centre. This fed into many works over the following months.

44 Doors:

This is a result of 44 photographs of city centre doors superimposed over each other.



Some collages of collages, from my city centre circuit





More city centre images used in a projection workshop. Using myself as the projection screen





Drawing machines:
Wind powered.... by the open window and using a desk fan








One drawing, left overnight by the window, got rained on, which added to the design



The drawing truck
 
- this travelled on 4 wheels and was pulled with a bungee cord! I walked around Glasgow City Centre with this and drew some strange looks!



I produced 5 "drawings" using a charcoal ball, a pastel ball, a chalk cradle, a felt pen cradle, and rolling paint sample pots



The finished "drawings" were wrapped into cylinders and suspended.
The final work became "5 Walks Around Glasgow City Centre"



The "Sphere of Consumerism"

Made from rolled Argos catalogue pages!
