Greg Sand

Greg Sands work is based on the emotions attached to the experience of losing a loved one. Sand works primarily with digital photography this helps him produce work that addresses the nature of photography and its role in defining reality.

Remnants

Remnants is a series about recollection and remembrance. Each ‘remnant’ in the series is composed of three found photos–each from a different point in the subject’s life–that have been cut into strips and woven together to form a portrait of a person who has passed away. Remnants uses cloth as a metaphor for memory.

This project has led me in to researching in to distorted images, this led to my research into Greg Sand . I have chosen to use collage and other forms of distortion in my work because i believe that with 'Passing time' not only does the faces in the image change but so can the image its self. 

Four hand composition

The 'Four hand composition' is a series of collaborative work by Billy Renkl and Greg Sand. They have used drawing and photography to create the pieces.

Sands work in this piece 'Portrait of an introvert' Is made more interesting by adding the drawn and collage aspects to the photograph. By cutting out the image of the young child creates negative space which balances out the busy composition. Throughout the project of 'Passing time' i hope to develop my work through the practise of collage and photography. Taking influences from this artist and using fine art practises to increase the depth of the work.
