Addicted to Collage
Seriously, collage is becoming an addiction for me. It’s a medium that fits in nicely with my other work in the studio, and sometimes even inspires my larger paintings. I enjoy the fact that I can mix photographic elements and hand-painted and drawn passages in the same work of art. I can work on them while waiting for the paint and mediums to dry on my large panels, because there are times when all I can do is wait. It’s a wonderful way to keep creating.
This is a continuation of the Passageways Series. My criteria are that the formats are all 5 x 7 inches, all the colors are earth colors in a limited palette, and the imagery is abstract.

There is something therapeutic about sorting through choices of shapes and textures to create a composition. If I were a poet, I might love doing the same thing with words.
Martha,
adiction to collage is also for me something special. I’m using collage for expressing my ideas about human interactions through history or at certain moment. I’m usually using newspaper photos, magazines, or photo images in combination with diferent paper materials and colours / watercolor, acrylic…/ Dimension is differs from 19 x 29 cm to 90 x 120 cm.

I’m liking the textures in this piece!
Those circles are making me happy, too.
So glad you’re sharing these, Martha.

When I look at it a little longer, the space opens up and it becomes 3D.
