Collage
The Redux series has evolved in a new direction: collage. Using a ‘background’ which comprises of an old painting, I apply torn or cut paper from previous works on top.
There are plain pieces as well for contrast, but I find using old works adds a great deal of vigor and depth. I am trying to let at least some of the base layer work to peek through. So far there is an animal image(s) in each one.
Collage seems to be a gateway to a higher level of abstraction. Several have a feeling of jazz : there’s short staccato like strokes and lots of movement.
I’ll be continuing in this direction for the near future.
