Lately, I have been returning to my love of collages. Particularly, right now, my fascination seems to be with the use of music as a material for collage. There's something about highlighting the visual aspect of music, and also adding some phantom audio experience to a visual piece. This was originally inspired by a sweet blog I follow.
Also. I find myself intrigued by buttons and bows. My feminine side finally creeping out? I don't know. But if I could dress up all bedazzled in buttons and bows... buttons down my sleeves and bows in my hair preferably... and pull off that cutesy look. I would.
I do know that buttons seem so decadent to me. So simple and shiny. Often sewn on where they don't need to be. Bows seem so cute and feminine to me. And once again truly decadent.
Or take this for example. Why exactly is that so appealing to me? I don't know.
I do know why collage appeals to me so much, I think. Bringing together different worlds into one coherent and beautiful whole. The texture. The colour. The tangibility of what was broken and taken out of its original context now incorporated and beautiful. Something like that.
Random starling obsessions revealed.
perhaps a metamorphsis of sorts...
