DAGMARA GENDA

Reorganization of One Hedge (Rachel Ruysch)

This series of digital collages were made by simply reorganizating a set of leaves taken from photographs of a Common Laurel. I was interested in using the photographs as brushstrokes that could be rearranged in different ways.

I started by reproducing a Rachel Ruysch painting, then taking the image apart by showing all the components used, identifying how many of each form were used, rearranging them into a gradient, and then simply showing a photoshop gradient as the last page. In this project I was interested in how information is rearranged to induce different kinds of perception."
