The following photographic artists of Knutsford Academy displayed in this book, have incorporated aspects of their own photography, amalgamated together with raw visual materials. To further abstract their own individual elements enough, so that their own artistic vision is prominent.

Through an interdisciplinary and cross-media approach, these artists have incorporated both physical and digital techniques to influence and manipulate their own photographic work as multi-media collages.

A fascinating medium; collage's broad scope and irreverence give this technique a fresh perspective to figurative surrealism. With references ranging from other artistic works and techniques to scientific images, fashion and pop culture. Each reflecting a collective visual memory and context.

These works bridge the historical gap between the classic pioneers of the technique from the 1920s and today's vanguard of contemporary collage artists. Pushing artistic boundaries, giving the surreal and impossible a tangible form.
