Assemblage….is what best fits my work…
I first discovered the shadows on a piece of ceramic work at the DeYoung museum…and one day a neighbor had a garage sale with a box of unused adding machine tape….and the idea struck me!
So when I use adding machine tape or newspaper…I look to see what kind of shadows occur….they vary as the light changes…
The paper is painted before placing on the canvas…
And on occasion …I will add Kosher salt…grout or more paint to achieve the look I’m trying to create.
There is a website link on my about the artist page that shows a demonstration of a paper (assemblage) flag at its creation.
