Well I have, at last, made a collage from the last envelope of stuff – I began with the coloured pile. and an extra piece of strong colour that had got overlooked. It became the all important starting point.
Bird imagary has crept in. I have resisted it up until now as I see so many birds in cages in design & art work and to use that motif always feels a little like plaigerism.
However, this bird, hat & figure arrived spontaneously from a conversation with Angela and refused to be rejected so it has stayed with a multiplicity of meanings and associations that can be choosen by the viewers.
This will be the last collage for the time being. On Monday the exhibition goes up. … 10 artists, 30 plus pieces of work and more in browsers. Then on Tuesday it quietly opens.
Where will art allotments go now ……?
