Making Shapes

Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

Collage pages in my travelers notebook

My inner critic has not been kind to my abstract collage practice. Especially as I move through it quickly, and the pages become sparse to invite tension between the elements.

The simple layers and the shapes they make intrigue me. Lately the white space has been playing with me, inviting me to use less material for more dramatic effect. I can imagine stories of each one. They are simple, yet intricate and profound. I could fill books and books with pages like these.

I like to ask others what they see in the shapes
