Explained

Entering 2022, I began wanting to expand from my usual Pinterest resource. At the same time, I had watched a Vox video about James Brouwer’s postcard collection. I realized that it would be a good resource of photos to experiment with.

It helped emphasize my artistic direction of collaging on to a central photo rather than collaging a bunch of small photos for something bigger and chaotic. The photos have a much more raw vintage feel, as opposed to Pinterest’s “aesthetic” vintage style, which can at times feel repetitive and dishonest.

Much like Pinterest, this resource turned into an inspiration hub. For either website, if I’m ever without ideas, I can sort through and find a photo to base off of. However, these postcards have their own unique energy to them that I think comes through in each piece I create from them.
