Quarantine Art - Content of a Man

Just a little bit of negative space and abstraction.

Quarantine Art - Postcards from the Edge - "Overthought"

I have thought about making postcards for the quarantine. People love receiving mail. While a "wish you were here" may not be completely appropriate in the age of social distancing, I like the idea of people being able to get a little bit of art and frivolity in their mail box. It is also always nice to know you have been thought of.

Furthermore, I wanted to create the opportunity to share in some of the sleepless nights and odd dreams that have become part of our shared pandemic experience.

I had not wanted to mass-produce them, so that every recipient would receive a one of a kind piece.

Despite the stuff the road to hell happens to be paved with, I have not worked out the logistics of making any of my crappy glue-stick collages sturdy enough to send by post, especially if I am not sending reproductions of the original. A good number of the pieces I have been making are too big, but I am hoping to figure out a means of making a bunch of smaller sendable pieces.

Collage Art - the old stuff

The following are photographs of older collage pieces I made.

While I have sold or donated some pieces to art functions and fund raisers in the past, these are still in my possession. The pieces here were either never for sale or no one wished to purchase them. So, they live on the walls of my house.

They are framed and do not scan well. Hence, the crappy phone photos.

They were all made sometime between 2006 and 2017. I cannot recall which pieces were made when, though I am attempting to put them up in some form of chronological order. While I typically dislike untitled works, some had titles that are lost to memory.

The Possessed, circa 2006-08

Perhaps Womanhood, circa 2006-07

Justice, circa 2009-10

Home Sweet Home, circa 2015-16

Perhaps The Inner Child, circa 2015-16
