Above is a Famous artwork by Mimo Rotella. I was very much inspired by this picture as it reminded me of a narative of someones life as you have two generations within the picture.
To create his artworks, he would go out at night armed with a penknife in which he would rip posters and billboards but also pieces of the metal framing to make that ripped feel within his art. Later on in his career he bagan gluing advertisements of magazines together and then begin ripping through the pages, this was a much smaller canvas than what he began with in his earlier career of ripping billboards.
Once looking at the picture above, I decided to create my own artwork inspired by Mimo rotella but instead I used my own picture of my memories. To create this collage I used photoshop to layer 20 photos on top of each other and then by using the 'lasso' tool I started to generate this ripped effect throughout the collage, just like Mimo Rotella would rip through billboards. This task was to experiment with using photoshop and getting used to how it works with layers, selecting, adjustments, resolution, e.t.c. I found that this experiment helped me alot, eventhough I have used photoshop before I learnt alot about it and I now feel much more comfortable when using it.
