Can't Talk Right Now Collage

This piece began with a portrait from a 1950's movie annual. As with the most of my collage work, I'll start with a portrait and then look for an interior or exterior scene which compliments the colour and structure of the portrait. Next, I'll introduce figures and other collage pieces to create a sense of intrigue and drama within the scene. My aim is to give the viewers the elements to create their own narrative. The scene inside the face represents the thoughts or experiences happening to the subject of the portrait at that moment. I mainly use books and publications from the late 1940's to the mid 1970's in my work, as colour printing from that period has a particular tone and lustre which works together well when used in collage. I also use small amounts of watercolour paint to blend the pieces together.
