DISSECTING LANDSCAPE

The collage is continuing. Playing with the world within world theme, perspective, depth paper folding.
The circular worlds are a mixture of painting, photographs of my paintings and images from Romantic landscape artists.The black circles have begun to represent voids. Voids in space and voids in memory. What is not there being as important as what is left.

When I remove the 'world' leaving an empty circle this appears to create more space. A view into another space. The eye fills in what has been removed. The folded zig-zags move physically across the space and pierce into actual space. This piece is moving between many planes, moving backwards and forwards, left and right.

I begin to add references to structures, to place architectural forms around the landscapes. Space and setting is more ambiguous.
