365 Collages | Week 33 | Cut things away as you go

Fresh Vintage, a collage by iHanna.

Isolation is aloneness that feels forced upon you, like a punishment. Solitude is aloneness you choose and embrace. I think great things can come out of solitude, out of going to a place where all is quiet except the beating of your heart. Jeanne Marie Laskas

I am doing a 365 collage project this year, and this week I’m presenting you with seven new collages fresh from my art table. They’re a mix of printed, commercial patterned papers and my own hand-painted papers, with some magazine pieces thrown in for color and variation.

Often times I feel that I (at least try to) cut very straight and precise pieces for my square collages, but here I didn’t. I’ve let the jagged edges stay, the uneven pieces are glued down as they were. Maybe that can be another kind of beauty?
