collage diet challenge – Day 3

Day 3 of december 2015 collage diet challenge.

The lines are in response to the shape and sometimes I am not sure where the whole thing is going and you can see the uncertainty in the drawings. The last image was a Temple proposal from Thomas Heatherwick that I had found in Vogue years back and kept it. His structures always seem to be breathing and moving.

collage diet challenge – Day 1

Today is day 1 of my december 2015 collage diet challenge.
Studio is a serious mess as I am cutting and cutting like a mad woman and I am extremely self-concious about sharing the works again. I had a hard time getting started  (nervous)  and was not happy with how the first piece started  but then I convinced myself that these are ideas in progress and it is ok if I share what I think is a mess-up or repetitive.

The odd thing is that I already see my lines are changing and I am baby stepping into creating small patterns.  I am also spending more time on selecting cut-outs. The pieces for works on paper are more meticulously vetted since they don’t blur into the textured background as on the canvas work. Sometimes I cut 10 to 15 shapes to get to something that I think works. The cut-out needs to have a a good amount of character and texture and an interesting form to work with. so here are the first 4 in order as they happened.

96 more to go!
