Sticky fingers
We’ve been busy with the glue pot.
Here are a couple of recent experiments in collage what I have done. Notice the daring use of materials in the first example, most notably sandpaper used to represent hills and valleys. Symbolically (and less charitable readers probably think this is all a load of symbolics) this hints at how those who live and work in the countryside have to take the rough with the smooth. Can you guess who the handsome chappie on the gingham tractor is?
[Did I just write ‘gingham tractor’? Oh, blimey!]
In the second example, I have again, like Frida Kahlo, opted for a self portrait. Keen Long-suffering readers may recognize the daredevil rocking horse rider from a post back in the balmy (or should that be ‘barmy’?) month of June. The sheriff’s star was cut from the bottom of a pie tray. I’ll leave it up to you to figure out the what the symbolic meaning of that might be.
