Making An Effort

Of late my blog may have appeared to be lacking in real effort. I have attended shows and been to galleries and museums and wish to write about all of them, but a new job has left me lacking vie at the end of the day. With that said, this evening I spent a good amount of time looking through scans to make a collage. The collage is a hot medium in the art world at present and highly appealing to someone who sees beauty in the found image. After selecting way more images than I needed, I had the daunting task of making them work together. Several cups of tea and some organic dark chocolate later I came to the conclusion that keeping things simple and using only a few images, makes the final result more effective. I started multiple collages, but the one below is the only one I felt was complete and made sense. I am going to attempt to create more assemblages on a regular basis and so comments and suggestions are welcome.

Face...Slap!
