Tanja Deman set us a task to produce varies Collages with the photos we took on the photography walk from Grosnez to L’Etacq. I created 5 final collage images from this task. I enjoyed the task as I found some useful images, which I could use to produce my collages. However, I also used photographs I had taken previously to create these also.

As I looked through my images for find images, which would work well, I realised that I wanted all my images to be different, and to edit them in different ways.

I was influenced mainly by Tanja Deman’s work, as she was the one who introduced me to collage making. I only really used 2-4 layers in my images, however she would use a lot more layers than this, but admitted it took her months to make one, we simply don’t have the time to achieve this. I always had her work in my head when creating the images as she often creates a new environment and narrative.  I was influenced also by a photographer Tanja showed us at the beginning of the six weeks called John Stezaker .Here is one of his works that influenced me:
