For Your Viewing Enjoyment: A Selection of My Collages

in #art8 years ago (edited)

Hi all!  Thanks for opening up this post!  There was a period in my life when I got out my emotions by collaging.  

I'd take images cut or torn from fashion magazines, rip out intriguing passages from old second-hand books, and take Mod Podge, sharpies, paints, and anything else that made sense to my crazy brain. haha  I'd go where the art took me.  It was very therapeutic!

During this time period, I was fed up with American society's emphasis on women attaining an impossible standard of beauty.  I was sick of the contradictions in marketing - particularly for makeup, clothes, and accessories.  I also started seeing someone and then she broke up with me four months later.  So, all that frustration got funneled into this art.

It's really just me playing around - getting my fingers messy.  Sometimes I just want to feel paint squish thru them, or draw lines with my fingertips.  It's great fun - like being in kindergarten again!  I would highly recommend it!

Without further ado:

When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge.
