Chaos In and Around the Birdcage

I would have NEVER made this collage if it were not for this theme.
I closed my eyes and reached into a box of precut backgrounds and pulled out the birdcage.
I closed my eyes and reached into another box of precut images and pulled out the bandaged people.
Lastly, I did the same to find the two sweater girls.

  2. So surreal! Good composition, too. Your technique for finding these images is definitely aleatory. I love it that you've made a great collage you wouldn't have before!

  4. Angie, I totally agree with everything everyone has said here, stunning work!
    Disturbing too, reminds me a film I once saw when I was very little, about a criminal boss who dies and is reincarnated as a parrot, who then gives clues to his family about the location of his hidden ill-gotten gains!

    2. Just tried to google it, turns out it's an unscrupulous antiques dealer who dies, and criminals are after him to find the location of an old bed he'd sold... so I didnt remember it very accurately, but then again, it was 43 years ago I last saw it!
      It's called 'The Night We Got The Bird', from 1961, a British Comedy typical of the time.
