Insects
INSECTS is a part of my Exploded Box collage series. There are innumerable ways to take advantage of the uneven plane of the substrate, as presented by an unfolded box. Flaps contrast, conflict, compliment or continue the story being told. Folds suggest a break in the narrative that may or may not be ignored. Dimension allows for a freedom from framing and a step away from the gallery wall. I have continued to use opened packaging as a substrate for collage explorations since 2014.
