2DAY

It has been a while since I posted. Sometimes the electro-mechanical devices don't work exactly right.
One good thing about low tech is that there are few problems. The expression of visual creativity can be extremely low tech. For example, this new piece was made of newspaper pen, pencil and glue stick. I was watching television when the creative urge hit me. I grabbed the old sketch book (9 x 12) and some newspaper. I wanted to create a design with a variety of textures. I also wanted to have a three dimensional element. The work was created intuitively, no sketches were involved. I used cut and torn pieces to get the variety in edges and the overlapped pieces give a sense of depth. The line work adds a bit detail of primitive symbology. Am I "saying" something with this piece? Maybe... television is boring?
