Atlantic Drive Postcard collage on A4 card . . Found some lovely old landscape postcards. This is the first in a new series. . "For Benjamin West, collage is about making a statement. Like the Dadaists who pioneered collage as a medium to socially and politically provoke, Benjamin uses his practice to raise questions about the human impact on the environment. Juxtaposing fragments from botanical reference books with images of machinery, motorways and factories, Benjamin brings into plain sight the environmental degradation inflicted by decades of urban expansion and mass consumerism. Immaculately cut and glued together by hand, Benjamin’s illusions can fool the eye. His compositions lull the viewer into confronting difficult content that only reveals itself upon closer inspection." #brothart . . #bwcreates #stormcloudproject #collage #collages #collageart #collageartwork #collageartist #collagemaker #contemporarycollage #contemporarycollageart #cutbyhand #papercollage #handmadecollage #collagist #landscapecollage #collagewave #collage_illustration #benjaminwest #analoguecollage #collagewave #analogcollage #c_expo #gluetogether #postcardcollage #environmentalissues #politicalstatement #makingastatement @brothart https://www.instagram.com/p/CD8tZLWhX9c/?igshid=soa7raw82kp2
