when skies are gray Nov 24, 2009

I love when collage is my homework, and I get to try new things all the time. These three collages are for my "art explores psychology" class, which is interesting in itself, (though a bit depressing). The theme was any psychological issue, so these collages have a tinge of sadness to them. It's pretty much about vulnerability to mental illness, and it's something that has surely affected my childhood. Other than the gloominess, I think they're pretty cool!

The photographs are by Bill Durgin, from corduroy magazine (issue five).

These are really lovely collages - they seem fitting and appropriately finished pieces. Love reading about your experience through design school as I go through my own.

petra:

very nice. she will LOVE them. and you're going to have to get super personal for your presentation :D

These are fantastic! You did such a wonderful job with them and I can really see what you were thinking about when you were making them. Seriously excellent.

These are beautiful, so glad I found your work.
All the best,
Vanessa

an art explores psychology class??? what what? That makes me want to go back to school--your school at least. These collages are really beautiful---the empty shapes created by the light paper and the cut off body parts are so provocative.
