Moving on from the same image of Jarry cycling, I took to altering a portrait of the writer. Again, using simple alterations, duplicates and overlaying, I attempted to create little changes to suggest a distortion and quite an unnerving version of reality.
Although simple and not appropriate for final images, they were also so fun to make and I feel like they hold so much potential and possibility as images. I think with more layering, images such as the very top right could work really nicely as finished pieces.
When making these I stumbled across the work of Miriam Tolke, a visual artist based in Berlin. I have only been able to find her instagram online, but it consists almost primarily of her collage work, which helped inspire me with a few of the above images.
