Shapes are flat, two-dimensional areas that are enclosed.

Cut a spare print into strips, all in one direction. They can be either vertical or horizontal, depending on the subject matter.

The strips can vary in thickness, too!

Then reshuffle the pieces, flip some upside down, and move them out of order.

Discard any pieces that don't enhance the new composition.

When you like the new arrangement, glue the pieces onto archival matboard or foamcore.

Which one do you like best?
