I'm getting back to collage after a respite of a few years. My previous collages had evolved from a series of paintings that evoked calligraphy. That served as the background for the collages. They used watercolor over images from my life: worksheets from portfolio management, Sanskrit texts, & musical scores. "Intersection" Mixed media, watercolor, acrylic, paper, on canvas. 16x20"
My first venture this year is completely different. The origin was a gift for my brother in thanks for his work on our mother's estate. So, it is a bit scrapbookish, using photos & memorabilia, but similar compositional elements.
My latest piece uses materials from both of these previous approaches. The background is watercolored worksheets, Sanskrit & music. I composed a design of travel related images on top of that. I like carefully composed collages that allow your eyeballs to rest peacefully on them.
