A Mosaic of Sorts
I saw some recently gallery work where a local photographer had taken multiple prints (very large prints) of a portrait and torn them into various sized shapes. The pieces were then reassembled in a shadowbox frame with multiple layers at various depths within the frame. I decided to play around with the idea using a digital photograph. This was my first attempt at the idea, but I think it has some merit if I can play around with it some more to achieve the effect a little better. I'm no Photoshop expert, and I don't know the procedure for creating a torn edge effect on my cutouts. If I can sort that part out, I can probably create a better example of this idea. This digital rendition can't begin to touch the actual piece I saw, but the idea is intact. Has anyone ever tried this or something like it?
