Final images

My final pieces are 6 individual photo montages but the way I would display them in our festival would be to have the actual physical montages stuck onto a plain wall all in a sequence. I don’t want my montage’s to be re-photographed and printed as one flat image and then mounted to the wall because I think the whole ‘hand crafted’ aspect to the work gives it a more personal, homely touch. I wouldn’t have glass or any other materials over the images to protect them as I’d want the edges of each photo to stick out a little, I want the closest and most raw connection with my work and the audience, mirroring the fact that emotions are a natural occurrence that we all relate to. Individually I think my images are strong in the sense that they’re visually appealing, a rare take on portraiture, they do portray 6 different emotions and the montage technique has highlighted the key theme ‘Change’ by resembling movement and growth. 

Overall each individual member of our group produced 6 images following the theme ‘Change’ and as all of our outcomes were very different and unique from each other, it told us that our ‘Change’ is a versatile and open theme offering lots of opportunities and ideas, just like what the CONTACT festival in Toronto does!
