Per usual, I've been texting back and forth with my good friend and fellow collage artist Anthony Morgan (from PA) about our collage journey. I am often exhilarated, but sometimes intimidated, by the almost limitless possibilities which collage composition affords... "trillions", as Toeny suggested. I placed the orbs in this piece last night (although haven't tacked them down yet... doing that later today). I realized that I could crop this piece, to make it a smaller composition. I think it conveys a bit of a different "vibe". I'm pretty sure I will retain the original "landscape" version, though (and I have the mat and frame for that). If I do use the longer, landscape version, I am also considering adding one more element -- perhaps another transfer -- to the lower right-hand portion of the piece (where the water flows). I'm not sure it needs another element for "balance", or not. I kind of like it "as is" now. It creates a more "open" vibe, but might seem a little sparse for some viewers. But to tell you the truth... I'm much more concerned that I am satisfied with the composition, rather than being too concerned about a "viewer". We'll see what happens. Interestingly, I also realized that this may be the last piece for 2025. Although artificial, I always find interesting, the concept of "last of one year, and the first of the new year".
