Gwendolyn Lane "Job Search" (2007) Photomontage medium, Found Text collage with Elmer's School Glue on white paper
My photomontage is a collage of found text (newspapers, magazines, and photographs) that employs basic visual elements of art including line in the placement of objects directing a path within the piece, value of lightness and darkness in each individual image, a variety of complementary color harmonies that are opposite each other on the color wheel (red and green, etc.), implied shape of text size in upper and lower case, an added value of light on white paper background enhances the value of space as it interacts with line, color, and shape to give definition to the piece. In conclusion, this artistic creation is a unique visual narrative art form in photo collage medium. It also includes the design principles of unity or, oneness and variety or, difference which adds interest to the repetitive pattern in support of an asymmetrically balanced abstract composition.
