Scratchings, visual diary research and collage combine;

This above work is inspired by British-born Australian painter, John Wolseley. 

In a series of works he examines Wallace´s Line, named after Alfred Russel Wallace, who pioneered work in animal geography, and marked the channel between Bali and Lombok as a divide between two great zoogeographic regions, the Oriental and Australian.

In further research I discovered this blog from Papua New Guinea;

Although while in Bali I did not have the correct type of paper for rubbings; I developed works based on photos I took from a moving car. My challenge was to give back the feeling of movement a digital photo does not give. In the second it takes to pass a building you can only take in / analyse a limited amount of information. 

These collages that combine Photoshop filter rendered works combined with straight colour printout, aim to reduce the amount of information available to be analysed in a still photo;

These works went on to be the core of my presentation for drawing class.
