The Tip of the Iceburg

Stories can be told in different ways, from different perspectives, depending on who is telling the story and how the story is being told. In an experiment to create a narrative within one image, my own artwork below (The Voyage) explores how a story can be created by layering imagery, rather than presenting a sequence of shots. By using my own image as a base, I then overlaid found photographs taken from the same angle to provide a conceptual insight into where the ship has visited over time. Open to interpretation, the final result documents the ship in both a factual and artistic manner, allowing the viewer to fill in the gaps with their own imagination.

The original images can be seen in context below:
