Illusions and Delusions

Digital Collage 2022

This class project in 2022 was for my Design 100 class. I worked in photoshop to create different hues and contrast. To create the images I used the smudge tool, as well as the pen tool.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I began cutting out articles of magazines and starting my own collection of objects. As I started moving pieces around I began to realize I couldn’t blend the pictures together with just my hands. I decided to go out of my comfort zone and look into my less comfortable strong suit-photoshop. The more the experimentation of hue, skew, smudging, cutting and formatting the more the distortion was apparent. The endless possibilities helped me limit my choices to sticking to only masking, the smudge tool and fx effects. The end result created this blurry capture, but the glasses remain crystal clear. This perspective will interest me and the process will entertain me every time.
