A superb day today, using the papers generated here to make a collage of the lotus seed pod.
First arranging the papers in order of tonal value
then tearing, cutting and temporary gluing - great fun.
Still needs some work, but I am really pleased with this - and not a pencil in sight!
After the class, two exhibitions. First of all the October Gallery to see the welded steel sculptures of Sokari Douglas Camp. Epic in scale and in the themes explored. Then to Tate Modern to see the work of Mona Hatoum. Some really interesting work - why do I find any work using human hair so disturbing? Good to see the sketchbooks on display as well. I loved he black marbles and the ever-changing circle of sand. Really worth a visit.
Fabulous! What a beautiful collage! Love your papers too.....
ReplyDeleteOh my, that's great! I saw it as a crinoline type dress first, but couldn't work out the bodice - now that I've read the words it's all clear!
