Trace

'Trace of Life Lived'

This collage has been inspired by Schwitters' 'Picture of Spatial Growths - With Two Small Dogs' 1920,1939.



this is how I set about creating it:

I looked closely at Schwitters' composition noting a circle in the bottom left hand corner and an arc running down the centre of the picture from the top left hand corner. 

I started by organizing my personal mementos by colour and decided on a monochrome circle in the bottom left hand corner then I created a slight arc in brown and cream colours running from the top left hand corner. Next I filled in the top left hand corner with navy images and then red and orange on the right 
hand side. Finally I finished off with some paint.
