Hi everyone, I wanted to share my Decalogue and Collage to represent the 9 ‘laws’ that guide my creativity. (:

This was a lot of fun and I am very pleased with how the collage looks. I’d love to see what everyone else has created or know of your own laws that will guide your art and creativity!

Cheers from Spain!

So nice Cassandra! I am still working on mine. For me creativity it’s hard to defend it as someones’s others need. I know the theory and it’s so reasonable but inside my brain I am not convinced yet, it happens to anyone else here?

[Milenka Zivkovic]

Isa, can you elaborate a bit more? What do you mean, it shouldnt be a "need" to defend it? As if it should be a given that it needs to be nurtured and respected? I dont know what was the train of thought for you and I am curious!

[Theresa Khalil]

Beautiful. I will come up with my own laws too 🙂

I really enjoy the layering of your collage, Cassandra! Love how you cut out the window glass and inserted a different view.

I finally did mine 🙂 I really enjoyed the excercise, it felt really grounding and I felt peace while making it.
I wish to share my process because it made me realize and learn some new things.

At first I wanted to buy magazines to use because I had none at home, but I kept delaying the excercise because of it (couldn’t find/didn’t have the time/felt tired to buy the magazines), so I decided to use whatever I can find at home instead (printed photos, past artworks etc.). I later realized the choices/collage reflected my most common interests/subjects.
I used one of my statements from my decalogue which is “Inspiration Through The Everyday”. I wrote the full sentence down and glued it on my collage, but later forgot that I can also rearrange them. I didn’t want to unglue it/redo the collage so I just wrote down the words wherever I felt fitting on the collage. I enjoyed some of the placements I made, such as “through” (between a small gap of different glued materials) and “everyday” (above a curious peeking eye, which later I realized it relate to the words “Be Curious” through the color and placement of the lizard. It’s another of my statements although a short version, I added it in before I rearranged the initial statement.)

So had moments where I embraced the flow, I was accepting of my (happy) accidents and pictures & words naturally connected eventually. Trusting the process!

Hi everyone, I’ve finally got round to creating my collage decalogue. 🙂 I understood it in a way that I take out ten statements that I include in my collage. I made it on a A4 piece of paper that was the size of the two pages in my journal, but I will keep it somewhere on the wall so I don’t forget my points. I like how each of us is approaching it differently, thank you Cassandra and Andrea for your versions, they are really inspirational to see. 🙂

These collages are amazing. I saw Andrea´s one live and I was impressed by it. A-MAZING!

WoW thank you Cassandra for starting the thread and sharing your process + collage, and thank Andrea and Iris too! They’re all super-inspiring; I’m waiting to be at my art residency studio in mid-August to do mine and catch up with lots of exercises I haven’t done yet as I’ve been quite on the move for the last 4 weeks…
Collage is one of my fav mediums as I find it very therapeutic and deeply transformative, so can’t wait to have a go at mine and share it with ye!
Have a good day everyone <3
