I took these photos back on the first of January principally as an
illustration of
New Year and
Renewal, the first challenge for the Patch. Hopefully they tell the story of one of my new year resolutions,
to clean up my studio. Then I re-read the challenges and realised it was more appropriate for the second week theme
Resolution and
Renewal. Sounds good, just wait, and in waiting I thought it would be good to create a montage/collage with a new page showing the messy floor being turned to reveal a clean floor. That was a good idea until +
Laura Rivera posted a very good new page turning on her diary for her first submission. Great photo nicely execution. Back to the drawing board for me! My next idea was just to have an overlapping collage. Looks ok but… the story seems back to front. So then I came up with the idea of printing out the photos, shredding them, collecting the pieces and reassembling a composite image. A bit more abstract this time Fair bit of work but I needed to convince myself this is a resolution I’m going to keep. Just in case your wondering yes I have cleaned up and things are “
mostly” still tidy. If you want to see the final submission you’ll find
it here.
