Playing with scraps, arranging.
I think I want to set myself a goal of doing this every Sunday. Gathering a few things, assembling them, taking a picture, altering the image when it seems right (this one was altered-a filter for color and a layer to patch a spot) and then sharing what I've done.
I've been reading Your Brain on Art by Ivy Ross and Susan Magsamen. The book makes an argument for the arts/aesthetics being just as important for our health as good nutrition, exercise and rest. That our brains need to make meaning out of our experiences and that the arts (and this is defined very broadly), give us the opportunity to do so.
Which brings me back to paper and ink...
My next batch of paper is drying on the front porch.
To be continued...
