\u201cTie small-scale contrasts together compositionally, but also large-scale contrasts; for instance: confront chaos with order, so that both groups, which are separately coherent, become related when they are placed next to or above each other; they enter into the relation of contrast, whereby the characters of both sides are mutually heightened.\u201d

For the most part, I consider any collage artwork that is 8 x 10 inches or smaller to be a \u201cminiature,\u201d but this is not a definition that I expect anyone else to adopt. It is just a personal rule of thumb within my nomenclature, based on a conviction that the small format has been at the heart of the evolving medium from the outset and continues to be the wellspring of innovation.<\/p>\n

Cohesive collage artworks at this scale have always been qualified to stand on their own as finished creations, but I am increasingly fascinated by the process of assembling multiples<\/a> or embedding miniatures<\/a> into composite designs. It boosts their perceived character as \u201cartifacts,\u201d and offers the practitioner another level of discernment that balances intuitive spontaneity with more considered design judgments.<\/p>\n

This is a series that I shall enjoy expanding.
\nPlease let me know what you think.<\/a>
