Collage allowed me to manipulate the context of an image which can produce confusion about what its is you are looking at. The red blobs are melting sorbet but when placed in a different setting it looks more alien like something emerging and taking over the space, the slimey red image creates a feeling of discomfort and need to figure out what is going on. I juxtaposed this with quite calm environments which emphasises the feeling that the red blob takes over.

i decided to use one of the print bases i had made to incorporate print together with collage. The collaged shapes are made up of a sponge cake, this triggered my fear of small holes so felt it was perfect, i know that often people with out the fear still feel uneasy looking at that kind of pattern. i aimed to replicate the accidental shapes in the print which ended up tying the two together well.

Continuing the patterns and drawings i have used before, if found this holey shape in a magazine that replicated what i had done before. it furthers the alien look of the first collage, a peaceful scene interjected by colours of fear and an unidentifiable shape. i particularly like the rubbed out picture with red lines running through, i did this by accident not expecting the picture to rub out but it ended up tying together well because i often stay away from the blockiness of collage.

Overall i am pleased by the outcomes of collage, however i will aim to be less precious in the future as i feel i took too long thinking it over instead of making full use of the freedoms collage can give. i prefer the idea of combing collage with other mediums so i plan to carry it on in the future.
