Peacefully Chaotic and Deathly

 For my 'harmonious' image, I wanted to illustrate how death interrupts one's life. I had created an all over pattern originally. Then, I cut across it horizontally with a river of text. More text pours out of this river at a different angle drawing one's eye downward. Unfortunatley I cannot position this they way it is meant to be seen. Once I gain access to photo editing software, I will adjust this blog.

For my 'contrasting' image, I chose to create 'chaos' out of 'peace'. I wanted to inject a little madness into a composition based on peaceful words and thoughts. Cutting and mashing different prints of the original image produced a hectic composition that I found favourable.


Cutting the mat board proved to be problematic. I had to cut several pieces in order to get a clean edge. I have discovered that I cannot cut straight...even with a ruler. This is an area I hope to improve upon.
