Thoughts On Walks

Thoughts On Walks is a filmed moment, captured during a walk or at a designated place I journey to meet you, where a question will be posed based on our shared human experience.

What is home to you?

Original fine art paper collage 'Colour Vision: 1' by Kika Pierides, with scattered hand-cut paper shapes in yellow, orange, blue and grey on white paper

Colour Vision: 1

Excerpt: Thoughts on Process

Still looking at including odd shapes as well as triangles into the mix. As a continuation on from my 100 day project I am looking into adapting and developing my approach to creating with random offcuts for my collages. Following on from reviewing my work I decided to select four complementary colours of my choosing but still limiting the range of colours for a more minimalistic vibe (as I did towards the end of the project). I then intuitively cut each coloured paper into odd shapes, created individually coloured piles and randomly placed them onto the paper. Bon day!
