ABOUT MAKING COLLAGE

6/28/2015

 
I am always interested in different kinds of artistic and visual invention and delineation. Besides calligraphy, I like collage. By superimposing numerous images of things I like and I am interested, it is an interesting and symbolic self expression exploring my own emotions and memories.

I have experience in reconstructing my feelings through creating collage. One was done to express my impression to Hong Kong for a style magazine, another one was done to express my spatial conception living in a city like Hong Kong for a design publication.

I have found that I enjoyed both making photomontage using computer tools and making glued papers and mixed media collages. The challenging and interesting aspect of this creative process, whether it is on-line or off-line, is how to express the visualization of Hong Kong through how I think and feel about the city, and what the outmost colors and images of this city that came to my mind. Hong Kong street-scapes at night time always fascinate me, neon lights and tunnels are the major elements in these two works. In order to create the works, I made serious selection of photos I took in major districts of Hong Kong.

Collages are wonderful because anyone can use photos/images and create something personal with them. First-timers might be worried about achieving the skills of making the collages, however, if one can take this art making process as a way of exploring his/her inner-self, emotions or memories, one would find it is pleasurable. Don't worry about the result, just enjoy the process!
