Whole collage to accompany my book. 

[knowingwheretoscratch-blog]

Segments of the long strip collage to accompany my stories. Each chapter has it’s own accompanying collage, and like the story it can be seen as a collective piece or in sections.

a quick Zoetrope

[knowingwheretoscratch-blog]

A zoetrope experiment- conclusion, doesnt really work because because images need to be more simple (no colour combinations unless they are block colours), and outlines more defined, and the changes between the images need to be less subtle, more obvious.

Wang Qing Song’s ‘Night Revels of Lao Li’

A similar format to previous collage, an interesting way of portraying a narrative, there is a flow going through the length, but at the same time, chapters can be taken out and viewed as a segment.

The space inbetween (the conversation between Astronaut and Beekeeper, the longer the space the more different their opinions, the shorter the space the more similar their opinions).

A timeline of the beekeeper and astronaut hand movements 

[knowingwheretoscratch-blog]

Collages showing beekeepers and astronauts partaking in alternate professions in which their ability to be caretakers is utilised in a different way.

Further looking into the hand movements of the beekeeper and astronaut, a quick video trying to reenact them.

Following on from earlier work looking into how astronauts and beekeepers may be suited for other job roles, switching audios from astronaut and beekeeper GoPro videos.

2. Beekeeper hands

A conversation between the beekeeper’s and astronaut’s hands. 

[knowingwheretoscratch-blog]

I have been writing and refining a book which has a selection of short narratives/stories, I write about a connection between two characters, A and B. There are frictions, alignments and mutual fascinations that send the characters tumbling and morphing into the same realisation. 

These are some of the collages that I will be using to help illustrate the stories.
