Abstract Color Samples

This body of work is intentionally misleading. Each finished artwork is a color photographic print measuring approximately 18" x 24". But each photo looks like a collage, not a photo!
This body of work is intentionally misleading. Each finished artwork is a color photographic print measuring approximately 18″ x 24″. But each photo looks like a collage, not a photo! Here’s why. Using very small snippets of colored paper from a book on color theory, I created several small collages, each measuring approximately 4″ x 6″. Each little collage was photographed, with the rough edges and irregularities of a hand-made object plainly visible. The original collages have been hidden away. The photographs of the collages are my final product. Do you care if you are looking at a photo or at “the real thing?”
