i don't know if it is inspiration or pure boredom that moved me to the
glue, paper, pens, etc.
let's assume it's the former.
when i begin a collage, i think i try too hard. it is not easy
for me to spontaneously cut and paste. i want a pleasing result, with color
and texture, shapes, and structure. text adds to the excitement.
knowing when to stop is the most difficult decision.
this time, as in the past, i worked on 4 related pieces. it seems easier to move
a shape or color between them to find the most harmonious placement.
when i was fairly happy with the results, i peeled the glue from my fingers,
and took a photo. then i realized that i could take it a step or two further,
and slice and dice in photoshop.
it was very similar to the paste and paper, because i just played
(and sometimes didn't know how i got to where i was....nor
would i be able to do it again) until it felt right.
