2:16 PM: I made a change to yesterdays collage at the very end of the day.
1-10-20 collage
today I started a new one, which is more spare than yesterdays. there are currently 8, which I plan on framing or mounting on board. i’ll be making more, until I no longer have juice. they will be shown together, probably next summer. at some point when my shoulder has healed, i’m envisioning making a series of oils using what i’ve learned with these smaller works on paper. the challenge will be to retain the unexpected transitions provided by the collaging process. i’ve used collage on canvas in the past, but I wasn’t satisfied with the look of the final product; it seemed impossible to get it to be an even surface.
below are the two versions of yesterdays collage. if you look at the changes I made to the lower right portion, you’ll see a good example of what can be done in moments by using collaging. what was a map of Amsterdam became a grey rock with an interesting texture very quickly.
BELOW: yesterdays collage , with the updated version I did at the end of the day on the right.
