Theme of the Week - The Queen Of Punk
As it's the Queen's Diamond Jubilee next week and lots of programmes about Punk on the TV too I thought it might be fun to combine the two - or one or the other depending on your taste! No fun!

would hans arp say yes?
I've been trying to loosen up my approach to collage—be more spontaneous and less obsessive/compulsive about it. So I've been studying the Dadas and the Surrealists. This collage is inspired by the work of one of my favorite artists from that period, Hans Arp (1887-1966). He did a series of "automatic drawings" that influenced me when I was cutting out the black shapes.
The background is of a bunch of people trying to break the world's record for the largest "raft" of kayaks. The photo is by Nancie Battaglia.
