Yesterday I listened to a workshop recording from Jane Dunnewold to learn about Joseph Cornell and his assemblages and a wonderful Mary Chapin Carpenter song . We were to then try to collage something using symbols we thought related to either song or art or both. I spent a comfortable hour cutting and pasting and stamping and this is my result. I found first I know more about positive and negative space than I thought I did. I was surprised that I could free cut a bird’s wing. And I got to try some stamps I’ve had for a long time. Just goes to show how we often unknowingly stash things and suddenly they become something that is just right for a project.
