From what I had made from my previous work, I started looking into collage and the contrast between block colours and patterns. Looking at some of the work by Robert Rauschenberg, I wanted to experiment with collage and printing. I started off with creating a base background with acrylic paint and then layered print copies of the line drawings I had done. Like a lot of John Cages work, I tried to think about negative space and how it can effect the outcome if a piece, I feel I did well with the negative space in the pieces. However I would have wished they were in bigger scale. I do feel they were successful and I really find the straight line pattern really effective with the textured background.
