During summer we were given the task to create two pieces of art that represent one of the titles: ‘For sale’, ‘Our Land, and ‘Here and Now’. I decided to combine the titles ‘Our Land’ and ‘Here and Now’ and base that of what I saw during the fringe this year in Edinburgh. Throughout the summer I collected leaflets and free fringe magazines and used them to create a collage piece. I wanted to stick to colours that I saw a lot of during the fringe, that being: reds, yellows, blacks and greens. By layering texts repeatedly it creates a busy and messy look to which I wanted as when you walk through the streets in Edinburgh during the fringe many people are trying to grab your attention. I feel this was a successful piece and feel that the final outcome really showed how I see the fringe. However if I was to do this piece again I would have liked to add more paint and maybe do it on a larger scale with more over lapping.
