"Sheltering in Place no. 13" mixed media collage with paper, fabric and stitch 5x8" "That was what artists did, they arranged the unarrangeable into something that made sense." - Jodi Picoult from A Spark of Light That is what I think we all are doing right now as we try to make sense out of this global pandemic. Even as I write this it seems so surreal. Life is just currently unarrangeable, at least in the way we are used to doing things. I think that is what all of my small collages are about. I am having a hard time concentrating on larger art projects so arranging the flotsam and jetsam of other artworks and remnants is something I feel I can achieve. Just like making a small art work is gratifying...a beginning and an end...these collages allow me to accomplish something in a time when other things resist being arranged. Be well. Be safe. www.claremurrayadams.com www.instagram.com/claremurrayadams |
