October 29, 2011 - The Future of Collage?

It is always a quest for me to find new materials to use in collages and other mixed media pieces. That in itself is not a bad thing, I enjoy looking for new stuff and then figuring out what I am going to do with it. But I also am getting into making my own collage material. I’ve been painting and doing other work on paper with the intention of cutting it up. As more and more of the ephemera and other printed material I like to use is vanishing, this might be a trend. You can’t make a collage out of an old piece of email.
