Art21

My latest collage work displayed a regurgitating concept I've been planning, although it's not so much a concept as it is a fact of life. This idea of "Self-Expression through Art" which we've all heard of before, has plunged deep into it's crux.

With a collage you throw images together forcing a new context that is meant for contemplation, as any form of art is often created with the intention of provoking thought. It says something.

Watching Art21, contemporary artists take expression to an extreme level, making political, feminist, statements that are incredibly moving. You feel it, you recognize it, it sends chills up your spine like a refreshed awareness that you've unconsciously coiled your fingers around the throat of and dare not let go.

Maybe it's time I took my art to an extreme level.
