I am inspried by rusty and distressed things. I have collected a bunch of rust in my travels and tried a couple of rust prints. Today, I am doing a couple more.
- I started with some old prints that I did on good paper,
- Soaked them,
- Chose some rusty items
- Spritzed the rusty stuff with water
- Put them under pressure
- Wait and see what happens
I am usually not very good at the wait and see part. I am also playing with as series of collages that start with a base of security envelopes, paint, sanding, collaging back and forth until complete. I am inspired by Dean Nimmer’s book Art from Intuition. I like his idea of sorting my artwork into piles like, dislike, like but needs something.
