No-no Square (2022)

Found images, optical illusion and matte medium on corrugated fiberboard

9” x 9” x 1/2”

 

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: DISTURBING.

 

The collage features a black and white portrait of Jacqueline Bissett from Playboy magazine, microscopic images from LIFE magazine & pieces from children’s books. The sealant used leaves a glossy finish and the thick fiberboard lends the collage a sculptural quality.

 

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.
