Collage by Eron Boyd
Yesterday Sae and I (deborah) took on the challenge to interpret the Gauguin painting in collage. We sat at the same table but did not see each others work til we were finished.
Surprisingly each of us had focused on
opposite aspects of the painting, background and foreground. We were curious to see how they merged. The results are shared here.
This is our latest video from the online collage workshop...#17. Enjoy!

We realize that many or most of our blogs are somewhat mysterious in their meaning. We hope that this allows you the viewer to imbue it with your own interpretation. This particular image represents Sae's immanent departure for a one month visit to her home in Japan. We will continue to
work together on the blog and Sae will sometimes send photos from Japan that we can share here.
"Itterasshai Sae."
When we put up a group of collages, all done together on the same day, we look to see what the
common denominator is. It is not usually apparent in the first quick view but as we sit with
the images we find something that is true. In these works we began by observing Eron's collage
(the one in the middle). It appeared obvious that the characters were floating. That fact helped us to look at both Sae's and mine (deborah's) to see if that applied and it did. The first collage on the left has no reference to ground and seems to be floating in the larger white space. Sae's (on the far left) has a shadow beneath the bowl like form but that could easily be floating upon water.
Perhaps, the title 'Floating' invites us to see each piece differently.
