collage me montage-round uno

This exercise is an abstract exorcism of our preconceived thesis topics. We were asked to investigate three topics pertaining to architecture and space, where the resultant work should be  a clear graphic definition of the chosen words, hopefully capturing the architectural experience. Out of sixteen words, I was interested in "Passage of Time", "Color" and "Procession".

PASSAGE.of.TIME: by far the hardest definition for me to define, but the dictionary lists it formally as "a continuous course, process, or progress; a connected or continuous series". while this was adequate for the assignment, i found myself more intrigued by the human perception of the passage of time, which is where i came upon Andy Rooney's bi-weekly rant...

COLOR|ˈkələr|: the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits;  vividness of visual appearance resulting from the presence of brightly colored things.


PROCESSION|prəˈse sh ən|: a number of people or vehicles moving forward in an orderly fashion, esp. as a part of a ceremony or festival; relentless succession of people or things.


with definition(s) in hand, the time came to produce graphically compelling collages and/or montages.
