How I Revised One of My Old Collages

A process diary.

Almost five years ago, I made some simple collages using magazine clippings, orange electrical tape and some shiny silver packaging material. The three pieces became a part of my living room’s vibe. They’ve traveled with me through several apartments, states and apocalypse now.

Recently, one of the collages fell off the bookcase. Without looking, I picked it up and sat it back on the shelf upside down. I didn’t notice what I’d done until later in the day. And then, I got up and turned the other two collages upside down too. After living with these three pieces for years, a simple change in perspective dramatically changed how I saw them. That shift inspired me to begin revising the collages and I thought I’d show you the process for the first piece.
