Six Collages by Feransis
In an era where visuals seem to have a much bigger role and influence in our daily life, I challenge the notion of visual literacy by playing with people’s assumptions and the collective memory of pop culture, especially as it pertains to comics and cartoons. I start with the idea of exploring collage with a simple and minimalistic approach, through image selection, cutting, placement, seamless adjacencies, and narrative story.
I mainly use Batman images here because Batman has a special place in my collage process - whenever I run out of ideas or am facing a deadline, I begin with Batman.
