The trio for week 24. These shapes remind me of microscopic creatures and bacterial growth which could be a good thing at times.

collage art diet 2016 – week 21
I really enjoy making these simple black & white collages. My focus is more on composition, simple lines and simple enhancements. Although I went a bit over board with the last piece.

collage art diet 2016 – week 20
This post is delayed from two weeks ago. I made the pieces but didn’t get a chance to photograph and post them.  I am feeling quite stretched these days but have to keep up with the challenge . I am also at a point that I know I need to shake up things with these collages. Maybe when I reach a half-year mark I will do some changes in the direction. I don’t know. This post feels  like my diary now and I am babbling to myself!

This is the set for week 17. These have all feminine qualities and reproductive vibes. It could be the pink combined with the shapes.

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 2
Day 2 of december 2015 collage diet challenge. It’s all pink, soft and oniony!
the last one’s little bubbles pattern that I drew remind me of how the reef starts from the free-swimming coral larvaes that attach themselves to things! They all somehow look part of a reef family. Maybe I am building my own reef!
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!
