David Hockney is an English artist involved in painting, stage designing and photography. He does a style of collages he calls "Joiners" that I tried to emulate. He uses this style as a way to portray movement in his otherwise still subjects. He created his first "Joiner" accidentally. While working on a painting of a living room and terrace in Los Angeles, he took Polaroid shots of the living room and glued them together, not intending for them to be an art piece on its own. After looking at the finished composition, he realized it created a narrative, as if the viewer moved through the room. He began to work more with photography after his discovery and stopped painting for a while to pursue his new technique.
To create my work I chose two different compositional rules to follow. The top photograph following the rule of leading line and the second photograph follows the rule of framing. After I took my photographs I layered them on top of each other to try and get the look that I wanted.
