Artist research: Megan Coyle:

Megan Coyles collage 'Autumn afternoons' features a forest landscape with a river flowing through the middle of the piece. I really love the texture and layers that are present within this work, I think that this allows there to be a real sense of depth within the image, as if you could step right into it. I believe that the material that has been used creates some interesting lines within the image, I think that this invokes a cartoonish and fun feeling within the work that allows the piece to feel welcoming and friendly. I think that there is a good amount of contrast throughout this work when it comes to the colours and tones that have been used and the blue really stands out and acts as a focal point that draws the eye. 

Megan Coyles collage 'A tree in the park' features a large tree in the foreground of the image with a field and cluster of trees in the background. Again when looking at this image I really love the layering of materials that's present within the piece, and I think that these create a sense of depth within the work. I love the earthy colours and tones that have been used in this work, and I believe that this allows the piece to feel down to earth and grounded. I think that the smaller details such as the leaves create a delicate aspect to the image which provides a contrast to the strength and sturdiness of the tree trunk.
