This is a collage of our winners for this week:
First, our very own Collage Queen,
ImageArt Ann. I picked Ann’s piece because it’s simple and colourful - and fun. The best thing about collage imo — it’s fun. As well, we know Ann uses almost exclusively her own images- hand-drawn or photographed - and that also speaks to the beauty & simplicity of collage art (I’m looking for an opportunity to say ‘artisan’). Finally, if you look closely, you see that there’s a lot of work in that ‘simplicity’: particularly notice the many little details and textures in the background. Much more to this simple piece than meets the eye.
Equal second,
RoseCat Cat and
deepop David. Two different renditions of collage and quote. I think someone commented that David’s piece looked like a Renaissance painting: and the component parts of the image work so beautifully with the Ionesco quote you’d think they’d always been together. Cat’s image and song lyrics are at the opposite end of the spectrum - eerily beautiful, otherworldly - and there’s no real reason why those lyrics should work so well with that image, but they do. Beautiful work
Thank you, all, for more different and wonderful takes on ‘collage’ and ‘quote’ than you could shake a stick at
