Collage, texture, colour and mono print

I printed off about 500 photographs of the transient journey that I had taken since September. I had so many i had to organise them so I decided to organise them according to colour. I was trying to put them all together in my conceptual notebook which proved quite awkward so I started cutting the photographs up to make them fit together better because I had so many. When I started cutting and pasting I started to lose the run of myself!

grey collage- cobblestones in Portugal and Galway 




Blue & green collage- azule tiles in Portugal, galvanise, container trucks, brambles, my Granny's door in Turraheen






Red college- doors in portugal and Dublin, rusty gates & old farm machinery in Turraheen



yellow and black collage- road markings and road signs


  I wanted to focus in on some of the images in the collage to make monoprints of so I made a cardboard viewfinder and looked at some of the combinations of images. I decided on the following image . . .




Monoprints based on this image
