Covid Collage Project 1
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.
