Well what a hoot! I'm not particularly wise or owl-like but definatley old and a collagist so two out of four ain't bad!

CREATE A SELF PORTRAIT in COLLAGE

Totally inspired by Hannah Hoch (1889-1978) I first wanted to find a piece of art that had the shape of my face to collage on. And this background was perfect (however, I rotated the grey egg shape from horizontal to vertical and trimmed a lot of the artwork to make it look like my head is on a curvy pedestal).

The artwork I found is by John Graham(1881-1961) entitled "Nature Morte" 1929-30:

My eyes have always been a feature many have commented on and I found a fashion photo circa 1960s of those flowery eyes. I wear a lot of berets and I thank Lotte Lenya for that one (found in the same book as the eyes).

“Smooshed together”

We saw a film recently called “Substance”… a dig at the beauty industry…horrible film!

So I used a very chopped up book of film stars and “smooshed” some of the bits together to try and create my beautiful alter ego…

It looks nothing like me…sorry..
