Ian Berry (jean collage)

Ian Berry is another artist I looked at:

Ian Berry is famous of his jean collaging work, the detailed portraits and urban landscapes using nothing more than discarded jeans. He cuts, stitches and glue over many weeks, the effect is amazingly detailed images, with a depth and texture that is hard to reproduce in print.

I responded to Ian Berry’s piece by collaging a close up study of a section of the denim. I cut the denim into small pieces and glue using the shades of the fabric to provide contrast and shadow.
