We Are Many. 24" x 36" Collage (hand-printed paper on canvas)
Pushing back on the ugly, my hands and heart have been creating very colorful, joyful work!
We Are Many began with the basic idea of something related to the sea, and then these tiny, colorful fish emerged to chase that big purple one away. The subconscious mind is a wonderful thing.
Everything you see on this collage is made up of monoprinted collage papers — the background and tiny fish on regular paper, and the purple tail on tissue paper. Making these prints is often what I do when I'm not sure about what my next project will be. My mind takes a break and I use very little control when I make them. The result is a really beautiful supply of papers to work with when I've decided to collage. I loved uniting all this variety into one piece.
