Photomontages


A single combination of observing and capturing the passage of time and the occurrence of events within that time. I collected photographs from their family albums to study and construct a series of unique single-frame narratives. I use the constructed single-frame narratives as a starting point to re-imagine and expand them into multi-frame narratives. We will use historically significant and personally meaningful events to construct this new narrative while exploring various strategies, including juxtaposition, layering, comparison and contrast, abstraction, and more. Each frame will contain a fragment of the overall narrative and an important conceptual key that will help the viewer unlock its meaning. The final will be presented as a series of conceptually driven photographic collages created in Adobe Photoshop.
