October Creative Meanderings
Make a lot of bad work to get to the good work
I finally wrestled all my paper ephemera into submission (well, for now!). As always with my somewhat overly analytical side, I researched how some of my favorite Instagram artists tackled the problem of being able to actually find the right piece to use in a collage. I settled on a combination of organizing by color and by some high-level subjects, and used recycled clear plastic sheets and a large ring binder.
Some of my favorite collagists include: Melinda Tidwell, Clare Youngs, Bhupali, Katrien deBlauwer, and Corey Peeke. In an interview published on the Paris Collage Collective, Peeke exhorts us to:
Make work, lots of it! You have to make a lot of bad work to get to the good work.
In the process of organizing my collage papers, I made a general sweep of all my boxes of art supplies that I‘d abandoned of late as I focused on stitching. It revived my interest in working with paint and brush, or at least using up the tubes of paint or giving the stuff away to a good home. Instagrammers Laura Horn and Tracey Verdugo were offering short online painting classes, so I decided to take the plunge.
Those artists inspired me to experiment with watercolor and abstraction, neither of which is in my “comfort zone.” My attempt to do a large composition from imagination failed miserably, but thanks to my trusty little cardboard viewfinder, I harvested a ton of small compositions that I can use as a springboard to large mixed media pieces.
This month’s doses of inspiration:
The incredible work combining stitch, textiles, and mixed media produced by artists in the Textile Artist‘s Stitch Club. I especially responded to the portraits, journey maps, and momigami landscapes, and the work of Rhonda Stien and Linda Florio.
Anne Kelley’s new book, Textile Travels, in which she stitches her travels across the United States.
Ailish Henderson’s stitched portraits.
Vik Muniz’s postcards of famous cities, created from tiny pieces of postcards from those cities. A New York Times profile details his process.
Gisoo Kim’s stitched photographs.
Wendy Kirwood’s embroidery on leaves, and other work combining textiles and mixed media.
