Making a collage always means making a mess on the desk. Most of the time it’s inspiring, sometimes it’s overwhelming. But as Brian Eno put it: When in doubt, tidy up. Brian Eno

I love the simplicity of Etel Adnan’s paintings. I took one of her untitled works from 2010 and „copied“ it as a collage of found paper and some of my scraps.

I made this small collage a few days ago from some of my scraps and this one particular lovely yellow flower thing. It was made by my dear friend and wonderful Wisconsin-based artist Karina Cutler-Lake. I found it in a box full of collage material she had sent me some weeks ago. It’s always a special pleasure to use her scraps in my collage experiments.
