I see that there's also a sub collage that I'm joining!
Excellent! Glad to hear it :)
Incidentally, do you also find there's an overlap with printmaking and collage? I've noticed a few print makers also tend to do collages (although it could just be just using up prints that maybe didn't go quite right, instead of having them go into waste bin)....just a musing...
I don't know, good question ! personally I made collages before starting to print. my practice of engraving in the creation of design is quite similar to collage. I take symbols from the diagrams which I assemble together to obtain a coherent and balanced whole.
