K. Bourgeois’ Mixed-media Collage
My main medium is mixed-media collage. I want to share with you just how I create art in this way.
When I begin a new art piece ....
I never know where I am headed ....
or what it will become ....
I am simply in the joy of creating a design!
I cut fabric .... paper .... ribbon & more.
I lay them out on paper or fabric, then glue or sew ...
First larger pieces ... then smaller ...
It’s all about the beautiful fabrics & papers ....
the textures, the colors, & the composition ....
I will overlap pieces I have already put down ....
creating a look of layers ....
It will begin to add depth and dimension ....
Eventually small pieces (details) ... for spice ....
are added .... further enhancing the design ....
