Benjamin & Daisy, Fly, Elements, Period, Freedom, Daily Perspectives
Energy vibration is a Feng Shiu principle that shifted my perspective about objects.
In applying this concept to collage work, the purest form of this idea is “Benjamin and Daisy” where the finished work is a black sheet of paper. If I’m the only one who knows what’s behind that sheet of black paper, that’s fine. That collage is an aspiration of how I want to live.
It seems contradictory to include a few gifs that show the layers, but I wanted to share this concept in the beginning.
