Lockdown collages #
I started a series of small collages of painted paper in March of 2020 - meaning to make a series of collages - to get me through the lockdown that had just started in the Netherlands.At first I called them 'cards'.
I put the first 10 online - for a donation. And almost all of them were claimed. Most people told me they thought it was much more than 'a card' - and added extra to their donation. After a while I called them small art and later on 'lockdown collages'..
The idea of the series of lockdown collages was:
- I make art regularly -every day if I can;
- I can do it at home with small bits of monoprint paper - painted papers - using artist quality paint and other paints.
- The base on which to play with collage (almost) always an A5 card stock;
- I work in a wabi sabi manner - to play, work intuitively and not strive for perfection.
