Collage is considered by some to be the most innovative form of art of this century. Found objects, chance creations, ready-mades- abolish separation between life and art. The common place is miraculously seen. Found objects can take on a beauty unrelated to their original purpose and a decorative or editorial aspect emerges. Torn and dried leaves, scraps of old letters or notes, broken bits of cheap jewelry and packing materials are all elements of a collage that work toward a statement made by the artist. The chance creations come about when different elements and layers of colors are put together in seemingly random ways. Beautiful accidents occur. Ready-made art, in the form of scrap book materials, photos, stamps and any number of things are also part of collage and work with all the other things to make a finished piece that is really just an impression of millions of impressions.
