A Nice Cut of Meat
collage in composition book
I tried a Dadaish approach with this one. The torn up black and white pieces came from magazine ads. I tore them into roughly squarish pieces, then turned them all upside down and shuffled them around. I picked pieces from the pile, applied glue, then randomly stuck them on the page (I closed my eyes to ensure the placement was actually random). I added the knife because I liked the shape of it. Then, while flipping through a copy of Martha Stewart Living, I thought a piece of raw meat would round out the ensemble nicely. ha! A few pages later, I found the finishing touch.The idea of all those chopped up bits of models juxtaposed with the knife and about-to-be carved meat strikes me as gross and amusing.

This is an entry in my composition book journal. The sun came back out for awhile, so I thought I’d try painting the page bright orange–not one of my favorite colors, so I thought it would present a challenge for me. I had veggie eggs for brunch (I totally missed eating breakfast!), so the egg theme seemed appropriate.
