Shape Continued - Digital Collage & Ephemera

Looking into the animals that existed on the Galapagos Islands upon Darwin's discovery - giant tortoises and turtles - iguanas - big 'stupid' birds that  could be caught by hand - dodo. Scanning objects into Photoshop and cutting/cropping/stitching together different pieces to create predominantly shape based imagery - breaking down images of iguanas and sea creatures on the rocks into their simplest forms - how simple can it get before it becomes unrecognisable? Hard lines and edges combined with subtle patterns and bright colours from old photographs and objects - creates a sense of dynamism and movement
