3:51 PM: i added one more piece of collaged paper, this time a piece of a pen & ink drawing, just below the flowers on the upper left.
1:53 PM: i changed the title of space g-1 to tokyo olympics 12 after working on it today. i just felt that it’s more accurate, not to mention convenient. i’ve been having difficulty lately collaging paper onto the paintings, so i stopped for a while. but this most recent one really demans a couple of collaged elements. so i watched a short video giving some tips, which i think worked! i flipped the painting previously called space g-1 180° and collaged 2 pieces of a map, eliminating the mother with her child but keeping the male figure holding a mike, who is now in the lower right quadrant.
i think it worked! the piece of map you see in the upper right corner functions optically almost like a window, which adds the depth i felt was missing from the composition.
BELOW: tokyo olympics 12 as it looked yesterday (left) and moments ago following my changes
