The city art/collage gallery sites reflect a collaborative creative process.  Those of us who participate in this shared creative space are continually surprised by what can come out of an exchange which is responsive to an inquiry.

 Most recently, our brain-storming has led us to experiment with making parts of the collage more obvious by zooming in on them. We created these zoomed-in, cropped, intermediate-step versions of some images using photoshop. This made the transitions more gradual; blending and bridging the two forms.The effect seems to enhance the visual experience by bringing out the more subtle and hidden aspects of the collage.

We also used windows movie maker to make the transitions smoother, adding music and effects like easing in and out. Hopefully it will allow you to see them differently.

It has been posted on youtube for you to view. Enjoy. You may choose to watch these video presentations full screen.  More to come!
