2020 Collages
"The rules of collage are few: use what is available, and improvise with educated guesses played out until the design clicks into some final shape." - Robert Motherwell
Delving into the vocabulary of the artists who left us some marvelous collages, I began with Rule #1, to experiment with torn and cut fragments sourced from my own original drawings and paintings. The images below are 18 x 24 inches, except for "Fashionista" and "Santa, Baby, all on Aquarelle Arches paper. It seems like a perpetual voyage of self-discovery and refinement. (And play).
