H120 - Cave of Pages

[back to quicklinks]
$ 140  

I love working with old paper and ephemera.  Of course I really love working with it when you can play with the 3rd dimension.   I figure why just collage when you can add a little depth and assemblage (pronounced the same way as collage…if you want to be fancy), so it’s time to “read between the lines”, literally.  What were going to do in this class is start off with a cigar box base and using other ephemera, photographs and found objects, we will transform it into a cave of pages.  What lurks behind the pages is up to you.  Get ready to start reading into things.
