POV: Synecdoche

“There’s another term of negative space. What is it?”

So there is another term of “playing with negative space” which is called synecdoche.

Or another example, using collage…

From the previous collage trial, Prof re-introduced me to synecdoche and I did a few research before proceeding to the next phase of trying to incorporate synecdoche into my collages.

POV: Research

When the brief was given for this POV project, I decided to do collages, like cut and paste collages. So I head on to Pinterest to find inspiration on collages as well as finding out different artists all together.

Below are some of the inspiration tabs I screenshot while researching.

Old magazines rolled
The colours attracted me the most. From far it looked like colour pencils aligned neatly, but it stated that they were actually rolled up magazines then collaged together. (Taken from: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/487725834626272330/)
Old kids painting
When I saw this, I was struck with an idea that I could find old art works stored somewhere in my house and simply tear/cut and paste to form the POV. (Taken from: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/487725834626272314/)
Valerie Roybal Collage 1
I saw this collage and was in awe. The different prints formed such beautiful pattern all together. (Taken from: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/487725834626272608/)

From the image above, I got to know the artist that did the collage and searched for more of her works on Pinterest.

james verbicky inspiration tab
I find that when you collage the image, lined it up nicely…. it made such a nice backdrop.

I looked at abstract collages to get inspiration on how to not be too literal for the POV.
