“What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas.”
—Pablo Picasso“If you understand your painting beforehand, you might as well not paint it.”
– Salvador Dali
Small-format collage is an ideal medium for artistic experimentation. Finding a balance of color and form can combine with a spontaneity of meaning. It’s rewarding to do these exercises with scrounged material that otherwise would be discarded forever. Anybody can cut and paste! Who needs this cursed AI to fulfill the creative impulse?
