I don’t know what it is like for other artists, ones who paint or compose music. For me personally, I like the flexibility of collage; moving bits around, adding and subtracting things. Now that I have all this stuff printed, that’s the thing that happens next.
I cut out a lot of stuff, and developed a head shape I liked. The heads are from these brown paper scrapbook pages I bought at Goodwill. The rest of the elements are from linocuts I’ve made over the past several months.
I like where this is going, but because of the nature of the piece as I am envisioning it, each piece will need to be cut out, mounted on kraft paper, and re-cut. The layers of separation are going to be an important part of the overall theme.
