I had so many bad prints left over from the print edition, which makes great fodder for collage. I wanted to create new works similar to the collage pieces from third semester of grad school (majority of the black/gold print pieces on the art page), but the resulting works lend more toward drawing ideas. I might even trace some of the faces and add slight alterations to suit the new drawing. It seems like I wasted time cutting and pasting these images, but I enjoy the ideas that come from collage. It’s a different approach from sketching, which sometimes the rustiness puts me off from exploring ideas.
I’m not too serious about this image, mostly it just made me laugh.
These two pieces made me consider incorporating anthropomorphic figures with animals and dolls. I also like the ideas that circulate around collage/composite imagery. Now I want to reread an essay about Hannah Hoch’s collage art, along with some fiction works like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
