Porto is a sculptural city, a city of light and shadows (chiaroscuro), both in its natural geography and architecture. I tried to find a method for creating a collage that reflected the depth and layering of the tones evident in Porto I chose to limit my materials to; paper, cork and a fine mesh. By using different layers of mesh I sought to build up a more sculptural form of collage. This series reflects the physical aspects of the city as well as more purely geometric/abstract patterns that echo the essence of depth and space.
