Lin Osborn's artwork comprises of taking items which are common in everyday circumstances... For example, the following image to the left is made up of small, colored, supermarket objects with the branding of each object, clearly visible in the frame. This could also be used as the subject of the image!
In this case, the specific pattern of colours and symmetrical layout gives the impression that each object; despite having the same color, each object possesses its own, unique characteristic's, shape and brand-identity which when looked in detail, sets itself apart from each other subject/product.
However, some of the colours used by Lin Osborn do not look natural. For example, the yellows, blues and reds are of a stronger saturation than what the colours are realisitically. Lin could've adjusted the hue/saturation of some of the colors in the images in order to bring out the main color in subject and repress distracting colors to avoid distracting the viewer.
Lin specialised in documentary photography. This being the way the photographer tells a story though the image they've captured and how they convey the current moment in time across to the viewer. Lin doesn't exactly do this with her work. Such simple compositions can be created by any talented individuals. The image above conveys the way objects and colors have been heavily commercialized and how colour is taken for granted.
The objects used above are all very common. Some being every-day objects such as shampoo & butter. This may have been involved in the collage this could be used to symbolise how common supermarket objects are taken for granted and how people are generally concentrate on what brand they are looking for.
By placing each image in a color-pallet like format and only representing the 7 main common colours, Lin tries to show each object as an individual identity, Expressing how simple, every-day objects can be seen in more than one way.
