Creating 6 collages that are in conversation with Odilon Redon by altering 6 chosen artworks of his.
The alterations were made based on how I felt as I initially viewed them; expressing the “dream world” that was visualized in my head as I look at his artworks, just like how he would represent pictorially the ghosts of his own mind.

Redon’s work represents an exploration of his internal feelings and psyche. He himself wanted to “place the visible at the service of the invisible”. Although his work is filled with strange and supernatural beings, his aim was to represent pictorially the ghosts of his own mind.
