Hockney-esque Montages

I googled "how to create a David Hockney collage" as I was curious where to start with my own take on Hockney's photo montages and I came across a website called the 'Hockneyizer'. It's a basic generator, where you upload an image and it is "Hockney-fied". I repeated this over and over with each hockney-fied image to create a dramatic effect which was, in the end, and un-recognisable blur of clutter.










Although I found this an interesting way to observe how clutter of images can become even more cluttered, it wasn't exactly the effect I was going for, so I started to experiment with photos of my room.


I'm going to continue to experiement with this idea of montage etc. and work without the computer for a while, cutting up actual photos and I think I'll also try to take lots of photos of an area and try to piece them together...
