I love collage. So when I heard some disparaging remarks this week about this art form (it's messy, what's the point), I felt obliged to defend it.
Some of the best known (great) artists have worked in collage: Chagall, Picasso, & Matisse.
What attracts me to collage is the design element, taking found papers & ephemera and arranging them into a pleasing composition.
My latest adventures into collage:
Watercolor paper with acrylic paint, torn, glued & sewn with book pages & for added interest a postage stamp.
And these are "postcards" and with a stamp these will actually go through the mail.
