Creating my collage

I found the image of Bambi in his normal Disney setting in one magazine and the image of the rabbit from Frieze magazine. Immediately I thought of Bambi and Thumber although this rabbit was nowhere near as fluffy and friendly as the Disney creation.

I photocopied the combined image repeatedly and layered them so they would stand out from the background. I wanted to give the image more depth and give it a 3D effect so it would stand out of the box frame I was going to put it in.

Painted background

The background is acrylic paint on the actual frame backing itself, in a swirled pattern in muted colours. I thought the muted colours would accentuate the uneasiness created by the combination of the innocence and threatening look of Bambi and the rabbit.

Finished image in frame

The final image wasn’t quite as effective as I had envisiged as I think the scale was too small but this was just some experimentation.
