Item description
A photograph of a mixed media collage made out of magazine scraps with a gold, sparkly background. There is a person turned to the side, with long, ginger hair. They are wearing a yellow shirt, and scraps of different patterned paper such as green leaves and gray beams cover parts of their hair and neck. Their one visible eye is cut out and replaced with a pink scrap of paper. There is a reflective, gold scrap placed over the bottom half of their face like a mask.

Covid Collage Project 3

These works are from a series that are very similar so I will explain them in general. These are collages that express my feelings towards the pandemic using magazines, glitter paper, and leftover wrapping paper and gift bags. I also employed some art tape and florescent craft papers in the process. The creative process involved me playing and experimenting. I would finish a collage and put it on the wall and then step back and see what I liked and what was working aesthetically and then I would push those approaches in the ensuing collages. This allowed the work to develop "in process" on my office wall. Through this approach a 'style' and 'visual vocabulary' began to emerge. At the time, my goal was to do one a day while we were in quarantine but as the months wore on I felt that the project was eventually finished to completion. I made close to 200 and currently once in a while I will get in the mood to work on more and go into my office and make a new batch.
