Fifty if it was one.
As a frequent visitor to the recycled materials and crafts supplies hub Offcut at Dreispitz in Basel, the opportunity to create a series of collages mounted on inexpensive MDF board panels presented itself just over one month ago. At 2.-chf per 40x40cm panel, I couldn’t resist. After a series of trial and much error, of collaging on large canvases, these smaller panels, which refuse to warp, twist, buckle and fuck with my head, are the perfect substrate upon which to apply layers of glue, paste, paint, organic materials, paper, card, print-outs or any other materials which are necessary. Currently in possession of 46 boards, five more are required ( one piece will be withheld from viewing ). At present, the need to work at a mini-industrial scale, to be able to skirmish with each piece, is critical to the success/my satisfaction, of each individual board. Eventually the pieces will be photographed and given a sub-section of the Works on Board page.
