Design and Color

This was the first version of the "Quench" project. It is comprised of magazine clippings that I cut out and glued together. I liked the horizontal nature of the images and I wanted to focus on the elephant in the bottom right corner quenching its thirst. The large grey shape in the middle is a dehydrated rose. It grabs attention and complements the destitute desert background. I wanted to mount it all on a black, or dark, background. These images were selected from a many other clippings and came together slowly. I maintained the horizontal direction of the images and tried to complement what I had done by hand with what I had done on the computer. I also had to rework the colors so that it would print properly. However, in the end, the color complements the images in a way that I did not intend.
