Collage from magazine pictures



I made this many years ago, and it's still one of my favourites. Because I think what I chose for this particular collage reflects my taste, my eye for what's interesting.

Title: Glimmer of Light


Another piece using the same conceptual starting point as 'Road to Nowhere' -- a path/light that cuts through surrounding darkness.

Title: Road to Nowhere




This is a road between two mountains that just cuts. The road is bright and colourful, in contrast with the gloomy, rather frightening surroundings.

Title: Wall


I love creating textures so much that I made another one. This one is created to look like a wall with posters papered all over it, torn down and papered again.

Title: Mountain


Another experiement with creating texture using scrap paper and acrylic paints (like "Red", the greeting card).

The craggy texture and whitish peak suggests a mountain to me.

Title: Red


I wanted to make a card that has a base colour of red to match a present I had bought a friend.

I decided to work using the Artist Trading Card format.

This one was created by pasting bits of scrap to create texture. Acrylic paint was then painted on, one colour at at a time. Each layer of paint was carefully blotted to create different areas of colours.
