DIAZ!

Personally I am not a fan of collage because of how childish it usually seems. However, Diaz has made his collages so intricate, that they aren't messy like many collages. Showing the people flying through the air seems like he is showing how people are breaking free from the photos of machinery placed on top of the original pictures. Showing the machinery lets the people know that there is inner workings to all of the rides that are on Coney Island. I also like the element of very complex geometric shapes on he landscapes that are usually very curved.

I also like the way that Diaz wants people to look at his prints. That he wants people to come up with their own thoughts about his images, reminds me of the, " I don't know" comment that we all hear too often. This is because some people want others to infer what they can from what they see. Not have someone tell them exactly what it is about. When doing this, some may feel as though they are being inhibited from drawing their own conclusions, while others may need that concrete idea of, "this image...."

Overall I like this artist. His images give me a feeling of openness. Also his images really show dedication to his type of collage which is something that I like.
