Small Collages

You could say that many of these pieces began as experiments. I used to do at least one quick collage a week as a sort of 'sketchbook practice'. I liked some of them enough to rework them to a finished state. Materials used in these small collages include vintage book pages, maps, and other recycled ephemera, as well as magazine cut-outs, image transfers, hand drawing or painting, and sometimes stitching. Sizes are variable, with the smallest being 3 x 5 inches and the largest about 7 x 9 inches. The substrate for most of these is multimedia artboard, an archival, acid-free material.
