Open and Therapy

Astute readers will notice that I've already posted various camera shots of "Open" before. I realized that those photos were not well composed and did not do the piece justice. That post was consequently summoned to the abyss. Since then, I worked on another collage, entitled "Therapy." The constraint for each was to not rely on a computer or digital graphics at all.

Creating a piece like the above is simple yet involving. The basic tools required are: a sharp precision knife, a small cutting board, and a non-toxic glue stick. I already had a blank canvas and acrylics/brushes lying around from another abandoned traditional project. I wanted to try cardboard but felt that the acrylics would have done some funky things.

There important lesson from creating these pieces is that there is no undo button, planning the composition is paramount. Forcing myself to be creative away from the computer feels great.
