Remix - Collector

"Collector" from series "Remix" (2012)

Part of my series "Remix." This image began as an experiment with acrylic techniques and became something more when I added the digital elements.

In a previous project, I'd scanned many of the rocks, beads and trinkets I'd collected over the years in order to create a digital collage related to my own life. In "Collect," I reused some of those digital scraps - infinitely reproducible digital representations of real objects. Photoshop became a way of easily rearranging and recoloring these elements.

I plan to eventually make my digital scraps available to the public to create their own designs with. Ideally, this could become a contest in which submitters could vote on their favorite works. In future posts, I'll expand on my ideas.
