Joe Webb’s Collages Are A Reaction To The Digital Age
Joe Webb‘s collages are a reaction to working on computers – to the digital age – his mixed media images all handmade using two or three found images and a scissors. Strictly old school. Infact, he has previously stated that he wishes he was born 100 year ago.
Here’s what he says about his collage work:
My collages work to a basic rule of sourcing just two or three images…Then I present them as a reinvented single image with the objective of communicating a new message or idea.
I started making these simple hand made collages as a sort of luddite reaction to working on computers for years. I like the limitations of collage…using found imagery and a pair of scissors,there are no Photoshop options to resize, adjust colours or undo.
