Cotton Candy Clouds (2023)

Picture book, map and graph paper on canvas board

8" x 8" x 1/4"

 

This one-of-a-kind, handmade collage is part of my FEBRUALLAGE 2023 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: BOAT.

 

Calling all daydreamers and wanderers! This magical collage features a ship floating into the sky over a circular map background, sailing away from the day to day drudgery of the city into technicolor clouds. Images are pulled from children's books and mid-century magazines.

 

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. IIt’s all part of the history of the art. To maintain the integrity of your collage, keep out of direct, sustained sunlight.
