I am excited to announce that I will be having a Salvage Collage<\/em> mixed media art exhibit at Guardino Gallery<\/span><\/a> in August of 2019. I have already started working on a series of collages for the show, but somewhere along the way I became obsessed with grids. And circles. And circle grids. I have purchased circle punches ranging from teeny tiny to jumbo sized. All of my Salvage Collage pieces for this show are created from deconstructed, decaying, vintage, falling apart books. Here’s a peek at a recent piece I worked on in my studio last week. This one is being created using book scraps and the completed collage will be mounted onto a book cover. (You can see some circles have crept into this piece……)<\/p>\n My fascination with grids goes back a number of years, so when I started cutting out little blocks of color from discarded and deconstructed books, it wasn’t surprising that I started to create grids.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After cutting out a variety of squares, I started experimenting with adding shapes for more visual interest. Both of these pieces are still in the auditioning stage, but once I start gluing, I will fine tune the final composition.<\/p>\n It was a short leap from squares to circles and that is when my obsession kicked into high gear.<\/p>\n And so it goes. Ripping, tearing, punching, repeat.
