Analog Collage
Paper, book/magazine clippings, cellophane tape, ink, colored pencils
8.5 x 11 inches
This was originally a study for the piece I finished yesterday. I was worried the watercolor wouldn’t stick to the book pieces. I was right, so I tried sanding the paper surface to remove whatever finish was repelling the paint. It helped. The ink dust also added some nice definition to the tape edges. Lately I’ve been leaning into the mess of it all.
I was so controlled and precise when I started.
