Photo montage project
For the past fews I have been inspired to create collage work, usually I cut up old newspapers and magazines to create beautiful image with colour however more recently and after reading a book on dadaism I thought I would experiment with photo montage. My work doesn’t have any political meanings or hidden messages it is more of a personal project. Using photographs that I have taken from all the places I have visited, including back packing in Thailand, partying in Ibiza, romantic trip to Rome and many more, mixed them all up to create fun, unusual images. It maybe that only the people who have a connection with the images will appreciate them but I certainly think it is a far more interesting and creative way to display my holiday photos.

New range of screen printed work
During the half term break I travelled to Leicester print workshop and spent a wonderfully peaceful day preparing some new prints for a future exhibition that will be held in Lincoln. I experimented with colour, taking inspiration from illustrated bird watching books I picked up at the library, mixing purples, whites and browns to create the background and choosing 3 bold key colours that would stand out against the black. Below are some of the days successes, more information and details to follow regarding the Lincoln exhibition.
