A Fine Mess: black and white

Collage A Day

A Collage A Day
In order to jump start my creative batteries I am creating a mixed media collage piece to post every day. It's all about "upcycled" paper that would otherwise end up in a landfill. And I'm also hoping to generate a smile or two. I’m fascinated by language and am often inspired by oxymorons, onomatopoeia and odd turns of phrase as you can see by my titles. I enjoy giving new life and meaning to rejected and neglected items. Disparate images are juggled and juxtaposed from within my vast palette of old papers and ephemera.

"It's Just a Possibility"

The three ravens are copies of lino cuts I made after taking a class taught by Sherrie York, my good friend and an amazing print maker with a very fun and informative blog.

"Authentic Reproduction"

The typography here is from a beautiful limited edition art calendar hand printed on an antique press. I thought it fit well with the old typewriter keys.

About The Daily Collages

These pieces are all 10” x 8” and fit in a standard photo frame. I use archival glue on acid free mat board and apply a light-resistant protective coating (however it is not a good idea to display any works on paper in direct sunlight). For price and availability of specific pieces please email me through my website using the link below.
