Description
Quilting My Past, Recycling My Dreams Tulip Collage, paper collage on black canvas, by Conni Schaftenaar
Over many years, I have put my art on greeting cards and annual calendars, originally done as gifts to clients of my marketing business. I took sample prints and left over printed materials from some of these items and cut petal shapes, combined them into tulips, made stems and leaves, and mounted everything on a black canvas on which I created a "quilted" background". The tulips, stems, and leaves all have "quilting" stitches on them, and look like an appliqué on the top of a black quilt. It was fun to make, and I've made another companion piece to it in other colors! The two together would make a great diptych! Hope you enjoy it. I used matte medium for the mounting of all the pieces, and then coated the whole piece with liquid matte medium. All of the printed pieces are from my original art - some watercolor paintings, some alcohol ink paintings, some digital art created from scans of my hand art, using Photoshop to manipulate the image. This was a challenge to me because it's my first major collage work that required first the "vision", and then experimenting with techniques to pull it off.
I entered this in a contest by the group The ARTIST BUZzz and participated in the discussion in the contest that required a haiku about the art - here's what I wrote:
Tulips dance, quilt dreams
Paper petals bow and pose.
Re-use, re-purpose!

Awesome, Conni!…I am loving your mixture of “comfortable media” and the uncharted inspiration derived from a repurposing effort of your original, traditionally printed art to create yet another form of Original Art that took you into another process…collage!… It occurs to me that this artistic expression, much like digital artistry, might likewise hold a lesser designation with the ArtWorld pundits…yet on a creativity scale derived from “traditional” artistry, you have likewise sought to further liberate it through a transitioning process. This speaks to the heaArt of this contest. YAY!
