Another ballet collage. My daughter is in preprofessional ballet; I don’t think my awareness would have included this imagery if that were not so. Some of my favorite ballet pieces are these “partnering” dances (the French expression, I do not know how to spell) and the melodies are often plaintive and so beautiful, that they have moved me to tears.

Art has to work visually. Someone I know said recently, that art is non-verbal philosophy. This blog is where I usually go on and on describing and explaining these pieces. As I look at them NOW. I try to resurrect feelings that I may have had at the time I did them, but really, when I did these images, I was merely putting one cut-out magazine piece with another, making the art flow within the 5″ square.
Going with that, look at the bee climbing the curtain.
I am not excusing myself from the descriptions I usually give. Nor am I trying to get out of giving the work some sort of significance. For this image, just look. After all, art is a visual experience. Without prompting.

Image twenty-two (got the number right this time) is probably my least favorite of the one hundred collages in the installation. Of course, the stats on WordPress, if they are accurate, will show that everyone likes this one the best, as has been my experience before.
I don’t know why. I just think I should redo it. Add some people. Put in an urban background . Mix it up a little. I was on my “round-things-are-light-and-airy” phase of doing these collages. Before I slipped back into tidal waves and destruction.
Maybe if I had a tidal wave in the background coming at the ruins, it would be more to my liking……
