Hip Hip Hooray (2023)

Found image, graph paper and VHS box on cardboard

8 1/2" x 10"

 

This handmade collage is part of my FEBRUALLAGE 2023 collection—a set of works created for an international challenge using a daily prompt to create a new collage each day in February. This collage was prompted by the word: SMILE

 

Featuring a portrait from LIFE magazine and a vivid Polaroid smile cut from a VHS tape box, this collage is “YAY!” In visual form. Hang it in your kitchen to inspire a delicious meal, your gym to pump you up or anywhere that needs a bit of everyday celebration.

 

Initialed on the front & signed in signature silver on the back.

 

All collages are made from found and recycled materials—they carry the story of their past (and some materials are very old)! This can mean discoloration, cracks, fading or other imperfections. It’s all part of the process. To maintain the integrity of your art, keep out of direct, sustained sunlight.
