As you may have picked up by reading this blog over time, I am inspired by anything on any given day depending on which way the wind is blowing and how the stars are aligned. Of late I have been inspired by autumn sun, of course, and also paper crafts. In part, it has to do with my ongoing collaboration with collage artist Zoe Langosy, and through her and other artist friends learning of the craft of paper cutting — a craft that continues to evolve as artists find new ways to express their skill and imaginations.
As I explore the craft, I am having a lot of fun with layering papers of different colors and textures, and playing around with the concepts that I take for granted in my photography like illumination, the flow of water, and capturing winged creatures in flight. In the above picture, I want to add a sail boat with billowing white sails. There’s a reason why but I’ll share that reason later if I manage to make a passable sailing vessel. 😉
Every image I find, I won’t necessarily share with a four-year old, but so far it is a very fun project to review my work … and to create new work … inspired by such a young friend.
