Large Scale Collage

For my exhibition prints, I am planning to print some large scale collage pieces that hand down from the wall loosely (ie: only pinned at the top.) Today I did the first trial of these. I think 6 would look great, so I made 6 different ones. I tried to do this loosely without over thinking anything, as I wanted them to feel loose and organic. I plan to print these roughly 24x50”. Initially I wanted them to be longer, but this shape matched the ratio of a mobile phone screen, so I thought it better tied in to the idea of communicating digitally.

Above are two variations of how I might sequence them. Of course, these are not the final pieces yet, so this is likely to change. I spoke to the printers this week and settled on a paper stock, so the next step is to do some test prints. Luckily, I’m familiar with the stock I’ve chosen as I’ve printed on it numerous times before. I’m going with quite a standard stock, because I want them to be a little rough, as this suits the rest of the project too.
