Fig 1. collage (author's own)
I collected images from magazines and newspapers and created this three faced collage. Some sections of it accidentally came together, for example, the lady who's missing an eye had her hair cut off for another collage that I was attempting to make, leaving behind this curve cut out above her head. She sat perfectly on top of the other two faces and gave the piece a direction of motion. The base of the collage is filled with well known slogans such as, 'I'm lovin' it'- McDonald's, 'We compare you save'- Carphone Warehouse, 'More of what matters'- Morrisons, 'Power to you'- Vodafone, 'Every journey matters'- Transport for London, 'Fuel your day'- Weetabix, 'Let's feel good'- Boots and 'Helpful Banking'- Natwest. The media is all around us, they have started to shape what we are. All these slogans are there to represent our environment and what we're becoming. We are the products we buy, we are controlled by them rather than them by us.
