"I really enjoy the process of making these collages-going out into the world and trying to capture what it feels like to be somewhere, I like to think of myself as a Victorian photographer taking long exposures, but most of the time I'm recording the pavement with my iPhone. In these tough times I make work to encourage myself to look up and around, and I hope that they encourage others, too."
"Using Adobe After Effects, Wells manually cuts out shapes from photos and drawings, then combines them with videos and sounds to create what he describes as "looping worlds." Although the clips are typically only around 10 seconds long, their repetition creates a simultaneous sense of endless movement and something of an animated time capsule of a particular moment."
"Based in Sheffield, he documents his visits to landscapes and landmarks near and far, including bicycle rides around different parts of the U.K. and places as familiar as his own kitchen table."
Rich Wells, based in Sheffield, constructs moving collages from arrays of photos, videos, sound bytes, and illustrative elements to capture the essence of place. He documents visits to landscapes and landmarks near and far, including bicycle rides around different parts of the U.K. and everyday scenes such as his kitchen table. He uses Adobe After Effects to manually cut shapes from photos and drawings, combining them with video and sound to form short, looping worlds. The clips typically run about ten seconds but repeat to suggest endless movement and function as animated time capsules. He co-founded the creative studio Make Better.
