* SAMPLES OF FANTASIA LANDSCAPE WALLPAPER *
> nicole cohen >
looking for places where vegetation takes over city constructs &designs,
this project "samples of fantasia landscape wallpaper" is a series
of views of landscape photography & collage (through photoshop)of Los Angeles
scenery/vegetation revealed, as it battles with it's immersion into city life,
and collaged to suggest resolutions for future development. Usually, this type
of interior design for a wall, might be beautiful or decorative, but in this
case, the samples capture possibilities and fantasy solutions.
the installation will be a wall/sculpture covered on two sides with one large example (5'x7') of wallpaper with a video projected element making the environment come to life, by focusing on a vignette in the natural habitat designed. *There will also be a ring of landscape photography samples, that are available.
