In the Eighties, Hockney turned to photo collage. Using a polaroid camera, Hockney would assemble collages of photos that he would take as quickly as possible. Hockney was fascinated with the idea of seeing things through a window frame.
This medium allowed him to see things in a whole new fashion. He took a drive in the SouthWest United States taking thousands of photos and fitting them altogether into various collages such as, You make the picture, Zion canyon, Utah. His artwork also began to take on a psycological dimension.
