Bahía de Banderas
mixed media collagescape, 18”x6”x1.5” on board
My latest collagescape is inspired by a very different Pacific
Ocean. The colors in Puerto Vallarta,
Mexico are not the ocean colors of the cold Pacific in Northern
California. It is a piece of art to look
at when I want to warm up in a chilly San Francisco summer.
Collagescapes are a series where I combine landscape
painting and collage. I start by
painting paper with areas of color representing the palette of a specific
place. Next I cut up the painting into hundreds of small pieces. The final step is to randomize the pieces and
then reassemble them. Collagescapes are
both landscape paintings and
collages. They may appear abstract, but the intent is to retain the color
palette of the places they represent.
