This is one of many short, spontaneous collages that I created as part of my Artfest 2001 journal pages. I work with notebook paper, because it’s easy to put in a binder when I return home, and the paper is readily available.
In this collage, I like the image of the windswept tree… it keeps growing and looking unique & original, despite the wind and the elements which might discourage it.
The Sistine Chapel finger image seemed appropriate for Artfest 2001, because it was such a creatively empowering experience.
(That was during the early “Golden Age” of Artfest, when it was a little primitive and unpredictable… but very affordable and layered with wild un unrestrained creativity. That was before the character of Artfest changed. It’s an era that many of us remember wistfully.)
The rest of the collage… Well, I just liked the colors, particularly the picture of the speeding car. It suggested how fast I was changing, at Artfest 2001, becoming more powerful as an artist.
I did several small collages such as this, as time permitted. This is one of my favorites.
