I wrote last week about some of the recurring themes in my daily collages, and now that I'm home from yet another trip, thought I would talk a bit about the theme of travel. One of my criteria for daily art is that it has to be portable, so I can do it even if I'm away from home (thus, no painting or chainsaw sculpture). With collage, I set off with blank cards, a scissors and a glue stick, and collect printed materials along the way. As a result, the collages frequently incorporate maps or tourist info that make them a bit like journals or diaries.
Here are some examples:
Don't you always find that even with a wonderful trip, the perfect length of vacation is about two days less than however long you have planned to stay? I'm always happy to be heading home.
Your collage of one of the statues in Vigeland Gardens brought back memories of a trip we took there in 1975. What amazing sculptures! I really admire your commitment to your daily art projects and enjoy seeing snippets of them in your blogposts.
