The ProgressionThe Collage Portrait is something that you are very familiar with after your portrait series this past year. Based on the idea of reducing a face to some essential shapes, cutting those shapes from different coloured papers and then positioning them all to compile the face of your subject. It looks simpler than it is, in this variation I worked with the 10 x 10 cm format again, and it tested my patience no end as I was cutting shapes that I could barely hold. I might attempt this again in the future in a larger format, so that I can have more fun with the shapes and perhaps shake the colours up a bit.
