So now after looking at the work of Anthony Zinonos I feel really motivated to create work with both cut shapes and photographs. I remember in my research that on the nasa website you can source the actual images that were put on the Voyager Golden record to represent life on earth.
Here are a couple of the images… I think using these in my collages is really relevant and talks about all the things I have discussed before - like who/what represents earth and humans having a permanent presence within the universe, all things Carl Sagan was concerned with when putting the Golden record together.
Most of the images also contain something to do with science, technology or space travel - so using them I think also helps evoke this feeling in my work, and therefore represent Carl Sagan and his passion for science, technology ect.
I think that the combination of cut paper and images work really well together - I have tried to cut the images and cut paper into simple geometric shapes because I think anything other this can have the tendency to look a bit naf? I think that the circular shapes work really well and evoke this feeling of space. The colour scheme of yellow and black also works well together (night and day maybe?)…but Im not too sure about the pink! These could work really well as a series of postcards...I especially like the two on the bottom.
