abstract series

below are a series of photo collage experiments. they’re each composed of images taken throughout philadelphia.

inspired by some of the work of martin venesky, the project focuses on taking photos of mundane things, abstracting them and recombining them to make something new.

the project went through a number of iterations, changing subject matter and colors, but all of them follow some basic rules: all the images are converted into single color screens, images can only be cropped at 90 degree angles, and once an image has been used in one collage it can’t appear in another collage.
