my
collection
includes a black
of
collage
ephemera
large selection
and
of
white works. some of
the art used in these older books is amazing, humorous and detailed. There are only so many uses for black and
white art....and so i have gained quite a collection. i decided to do a book of collage based on all of this black
and
white
stuff.
the
first few spreads of this book contain
a bit of color, but as i continued, i gradually left all traces of color out and black and white was the rule. here i have displayed the first 20 pages of the book. the rest will follow in future issues of the TRUNK.
• lemon pines collage, 2002
this collage was inspired by the exquisite marbling techniques of a belgium artist named alain valet. He does original hand marbling with some very intense colors. i love their richness and i immediately have a desire to draw on it. alain Valet also works in pen and ink and does collage. more of his work can be seen on my website at this link: http://www.magikglasses.com/aez/alainswf.html this particular collage piece is almost a self portrait. as i worked on it, i felt more and more like the little girl on the edge of the woods, beckoning you in.
