Create a collage describing a journey, only using material obtained from one newspaper or magazine.
I get Archaeology magazine, but instead used Cosmo magazine to make a collage describing Easter Island's prehistoric journey from a culture focused on building large statues (moai) to the more recent birdman (tangata manu) cult. This involved a shift from a strictly hereditary system of sacred chiefs to a somewhat more open system where divine favor was proved through success in a difficult feat. I also think it's interesting that the art moved from human images made of stone (permanence through physical materials?) to representations of a human/bird spirit (permanence through transcendence?).

Eyes are a prominent feature of both Easter Island art and Cosmo magazine ads. Here, eyes are used as rocks that cover the surface of the island, and also as an egg held by a tangata manu. While Easter Island art used stone, the most plentiful material on the island, this collage uses a lot of hair textures, because hair is the most plentiful material from Cosmo.

Next task: Capture a moment in time. Hold it ransom.
