After the Show


Collage on matt board, size 21" x 31",
$ 750.00
This collage was part of the well attended first Okanagan Erotic Art Show earlier in 2008.
An immensely enjoyable process, presenting challenges as every stage can be summed up as, creating order out of chaos.

Light weight watercolour paper (approximately 90 gms) is paper is prepared using acrylic paints with a selective colour scheme and saran wrap to create interesting textures. Pieces of this paper, along with some handmade, foil paper and fabric are glued to a watercolor/mattboard board. The image(s) is revealed using glazes of acrylic paints, for both, negative and positive spaces. Point to remember, is not to overpaint as the texutes created by saran wrap will be lost. The result is a unique rendering of the subject.
