Up, Up & Away (2022)

Found images, acrylic medium & glue on cardboard

7" x 11 1/4" x 1/4"

 

This one-of-a-kind, handmade collage is part of my FEBRUALLAGE 2022 collection—a set of works created for an international challenge using a daily prompt to create a new collage each day in February. This collage was prompted by the word: FLOAT.

 

This whimsical adventurescape features images from National Geographic magazines from the 1980s & 1990s. The rich greens of the landscape are punctuated with abstract circular details cut from a technical map. The collage is mounted on recycled cardboard.

 

Initialed on the front & signed in signature silver on the back.

 

All collages are made from found and recycled materials—they carry the story of their past (and some materials are very old)! This can mean discoloration, cracks, fading or other imperfections. It’s all part of the process. To maintain the integrity of your art, keep out of direct, sustained sunlight.
