While traveling over the last month I aimed to find the "fun" again in my collage work.
For the first week I did a collage a day. I called them "scrap people"..... each one a person that I had either met or came in contact with during that week. I wanted them to be a quick, emotional response to who that individual was.
Some were more successful than others- but I had fun and that was the exercise!

The following week I focused on using maps again. Over the last 6 months I had gotten away from using them as an integral part of my collage process and I felt that I needed to find a way to reconnect with them in a new and meaningful way.
I did not push myself to complete anything - just see where an idea might take me - and I was able to lay down the beginnings of 3 pieces that I felt positive about.
Since returning home and I'm back in the studio every day, I've been able to finish 2 of those pieces and finish a 3rd piece that had been languishing on my table for awhile.
Sometimes just stepping away and hitting the refresh button is the perfect antidote!
