Collage: Defienlty not an African Mask

This collage assignment was given to me with a few passing notes of “or your collage could be cardboard and make something almost sculptural”, so I did that because it sounded like fun. Immediately I wanted something that resembles an illusion, where the sculptural aspect comes out to the viewer, but the collaged pieces, photos, and drawings would give a sense of space going into the piece. I made the sculptural piece resemble a face because I thought it would be the most recognizable shape for the human eye to see with all the other visual elements. The collage material I wanted to be nature photos because it did a lot of the work for me creating large vast spaces and atmospheric perspective. The goal was being able to give the viewer a choice of either seeing the face or the collage scene at either time.
