acrylic/collage

I have just completed my three week project for college, it was  to kick start us into our major projects for the remainder of our year,  unfortunately this turned out to be a bit of a disappointment. I think as an artist my concepts tend to be reasonable enough but this piece of work falls short of contemporary.  It has however given me some ideas for progression this (school ) year,
anyway this is acrylic and collage, the collage in the form of the 'Book of Ashes" I made earlier this year for another project (which was well received)
