Evolution of a Mixed Media Collage by Jeanne Sisson

 

Rives BFK printmaking paper, acrylic paint and various collage papers,

approx 15 x 10"

Used tiny pin holes to mark corners for placement of canvas.

Used gel medium as an adhesive on both canvas and paper.

After an overnight of weighing down with books to ensure it dried and was fully secure, then came the cutting with an exacto knife. Always use a new blade!

In some cases I like the white edge of the paper but not this time.

Passage of Time, mixed media collage,

Falling Into Layers at Blue Door Art Center

The Blue Door Art Center in Yonkers, NY is hosting their exhibition Falling into Layers: Contemporary Art Quilts from October 7-30.  The show will feature work by Art Cloth Network members Barbara Schulman and Mary Vaneecke.  

Two works from Mary's Samaras series are included.  An image of bladderwort plants and maple seeds scattered on water inspired the series.  Mary is interested in how humans deal with chaos, find beauty there, and relinquish control in the face of it.
