Om...

Just goes to show, how the idea of the finished artwork, and the actual result, are always completely different, at least round our house...

I was going for a calm, meditative feel to this, having found/re-pieced the word "om" from a selection of ripped-down disused billboard posters, liberated this Sunday afternoon with my friends D and H, and the help of a stepladder from the shed and a Stanley knife...

I suppose if you use source materials ripped-down quickly, the effect isn't really going to be that meditative, but there you go.... so, it doesn't really look that much like a landscape, but it does have mountains and sky, and some of the rips and tears are quite nice.

And the ink splots that the meditating woman and her reflection are sitting on, are... ink splots! And the funny lighthouse thing is from a leaflet, and everything else is little scraps from the billboard poster fragments. Phew!

  1. Well, I think it is a colorful hodgepodge creating a balanced landscape of Wonder and Beauty!

    1. Thank you Collage Craft, and 'hodgepodge' seems to hit the nail on the head, great word! :)
