Mixed Media - Collage On Book Cover
Description
As artists, we are often seduced into acquiring more and more “supplies.” Whether it’s paint, papers, labels, old books to tear apart, etc., we think we can make cooler things if we just had more “stuff.”
So I wondered what could I create with just what I had at hand that day. I scrabbled through my bits of papers and found an old chopstick wrapper, a lot of old Japanese stamps, a variety of old book pages, some decorative papers, etc. A vintage Japanese book had covers that had come off and were torn, and one of them became the substrate for this collage. See the torn bit in the lower left?
I didn’t have to purchase anything new; I just made do with what I had around me. Quite satisfying!
