Seeing Things with Fresh Eyes
and Using Collage
Have you ever felt stuck in your artwork? Repeating yourself, bored, scared,
unable to start, unable to finish? Me too!
Lately I’ve been making collages from my “failed” paintings and drawings,
tearing them apart and putting them together in new ways.
And suddenly they are no longer failures, but beginnings.
Unexpected juxtapositions create new life. And new ideas.
And give me reinvigorated faith in the process.
I can feel the difference when I work on new paintings and drawings–
I’m more open, they’re more alive.
