my class, getting into the collage style of art
—
not me, but very similar to how my house l0oks
when i’m happily immersed in my favorite way to create art,
collage.
—
“collage is more than just an art style.
collage is all about bringing different elements together.
once you form a sensibility about connection,
how different elements relate to each other,
you deepen your understanding of yourself and others.”
-bryan collier, american writer and illustrator

A dearly departed friend once told me, “A tidy house shows a lack of imagination”. He added, “Dust is just nature’s way of showing you have been busy doing better things than dusting”.
I think he was correct.
Best wishes, Pete.

I was pretty heavy into collage art for awhile when I was younger. It was fun to bring together pictures to create a “bigger picture.”
