This is the second part of the piece I did a couple weeks ago. It's a
mixed media collage piece similar to the last post. It's made out
of old wallpaper samples from the seventies and mounted on a canvas
I painted. I think 2 is enough of this style, but I'd like to work more with
collage and mixed media. I've always loved collage and have done it
since I was a kid. Sometimes I get stuck on whether it's a valid art form
but that's ridiculous- of course it is. Some of my favorite artists worked
in this way. I don't know why I apply self-imposed rules to my art at all-
I think if I loosened up it would probably get better. The daily drawing
project I did last year while honing my skill has now made me confused
about what my style is. In that project I learned how to draw what I saw.
But each piece was so small and technically precise that now I'm not sure
how to translate this into larger work. This painting project has made
me realize I'm in a transition phase artwise. I need to loosen up.
I have no idea what I'm going to do for my next piece. It really will be a
surprise.
