Michelle Thompson

I absolutely love Michelle Thompson's work.
The colours, the contrast, the collage.

The way she uses old photos is ingenious - the child on the Bird Watching piece holding out a hand to a bird in a Snow White-esque manner.

 

The placement of imagery is really clever. Thompson plays with scale and shape. In particular I like that the legs on the image above have been repeated, enlarged and had a blue filter added to them.

Shout out to the random camel on the piece. Coincidentally, my current work is about camels.
