(TOTAL) CONFUSION

Confusion
This collage was so messy that I decided to fix 2 moments before the final picture.
When I was much younger, this kind of process, not knowing what’s coming out if ever, feeling that things are going wrong, out of control, just made going nuts, confronting me with my incapacity of resolving the puzzle.
This time, I let it go. I still feel a little uneasy about this collage, but I decided to baptize it “Confusion” because I think that this reflects my own state during its creation and what is displayed.
Making a collage is always at the risk of confusion. All these alien fragments fight one against the other and deserve some artistic tricks to hold them together, to tie them up in the picture field.
Here the collage seems to “work”, but the meaning is so … confusing! It started with a ganja smoker and a baroque nude with a Disney head. And it finished with the big girl behind them. I won’t dare to speak about trinity (a religious term totally inadequate here), I prefer to say: trio or threesome because of the ambiguity of the relationship between the figures. My wife thinks I might be the naked man but then who’s the other guy? I am confused does she really think that I am that helpless comic-figure? After all, why not, it’s only a messy collage anyway. The next one is already begun and, for sure, nobody will ever think that I projected myself in it – even though…

Blog on art, centered on collage. It is meant as a sort of logbook of my creative work.
