So I joined another co-authored blog called
Scrapteria. I knocked on their blog door wearing my best suit and they said to me, come and join us, Jono, with your wine, glue, razor and scissors, come. And so I came, killed two birds with one stone, too. This is my first contribution, "How High's the Water?"
This collage is huge, dimensionally huge and personally huge. Months ago I started collecting empty 50 lb flour sacks from the pizza shop where I work, stashing them in the trunk of my car, meaning to use them as foundations for large collages. I'd also been going to NYC, to the MET, to study large collage works. Over a period of months I formulated some ideas about working big, ideas that included the crucial usage of spray adhesive: glue in aerosol form. The shit rules. Here's a detail:
Scrapteria has a weekly theme, and each week the authors interpret that theme with their collages. This week's theme is "The Great Flood." Well, I didn't put in any pictures of floods, but I think I nailed it anyway. There's certainly a flood of something, if only a flood of good feelings. Yeah, I'm super stoked. This baby is 16 x 27 inches. Not the biggest collage I've ever made (Bags! was the biggest), but damn close enough.
