Initial Research: Fantasy Landscapes












We've been given our new brief and really excited by this one! Basically we have to produce a montage of images and use them to create a fantasy landscape. Instantly thought of multimedia artist Dave McKean ( good article here) I've probably mentioned him several times in my hard copy sketch book but am a huge fan! He uses mixed media: newspaper, photographs, drawings etc and I love the way he combines these to create distorted, slightly disturbing, images. Really enjoy working with photoshop but would love to go old school with this one. Not sure about the 'how' (ever practical!) but have a vague idea of what I'd like to do. Am thinking of using polaroids of random objects to create a new image, transferring images to acetate and layering, transferring images onto three dimensional objects. Want to cut up negatives and prints and use newspaper and twigs and glue...
