collage

'I will teach you about the world' 
Mixed media and collage on paper. 
 At the moment , I just love to have glue on my hands.... Starting with just a feeling and working with sticky fingers until it's finished. I always used to look a bit ' down ' to collage, I don't even know why !
Funny , that all my work in the last 5 years (at least) always was done on a collage. I always 'work' on the canvas or paper before I actually paint on it . Because I dislike white paper or even worse white canvas. So I always glue newspaper and leftover canvas  pieces on it , before painting. And true: I some times enjoy doing that more , than the actual painting... So maybe I should stay with collage for a while ! :-)

  5. Deine Collagen sagen so viel aus. Ich kann fast immer eine Situation oder eine Stimmung heraus - lesen oder nehmen, die mich an etwas aus meinem Leben erinnern.
