ALT: graphite, crayon, and collage. a figure stands, head bowed, with an absurd brimmed hat perched precariously upon it. a cloud of words (newsprint and imaginary writing) rimmed in orange, drifts by its midsection. a bare tree stands in the foreground.
ALT: mixed media, abstract. A mycelial mess in paper collage, acrylic, and crayon. Mostly looks like it’s covered in twisty roots, but maybe some tree branches in the upper right corner.
this is probably my last collage for this time around, I have the supplies mostly sorted and ready to store for next year. Thanks to Stephanie Luck Coïc for sending me an inspirational packet of materials, and to all the friends and relations that participate in my annual collage get-together. It never fails to surprise and motivate me.
Just playing with collage and paint. There’s a deconstructed house in there, another tracing for a painting by George Thomas. And many paper scraps that are leftovers of the collage party. I don’t seem to have the mind to make more coherent pictures at the moment, so spritzings from my moods will have to do.
The February collage party came a little late this year, but it came nevertheless. Here’s the one piece I managed to finish during the party, but expect more to come in the next few days as I sort paper and tidy the studio up again. Thanks to the late George Thomas, from whose studio archives I got the tracing of a perspective study which forms the basis for the collage.
Here is the Group Collage that came out of this year’s party. Nine people contributed to this effort. Plus a few more that were there in spirit.
