#Workinprocess: How do I work on an #assemblagecollage?
My main object here is the lid of an old #oil bottle from #Shell of special origin. It comes from the #waste dump of a more than 100-year-old #oilmine, which is only now being partly overgrown by pioneer plants.

That's why I wanted to work on this contrast between supposedly intact #nature and the #damage caused by #fossilfuels. Seeming #beauty: the #blue of burnt #plasticwaste (like a stone), #plastic string found in a meadow, #sari #waste from the #fashionindustry.

The last time I saw this beautiful #butterfly and #moth was in my childhood. They are now #extinct in our region. The #beetle has also disappeared, cut out.

I check the composition in a different light (1+2), and with photos. My way of working out this composition in #mixedmedia is inspired by the wonderful #book "#Storytelling With #Collage" by the inspiring #artist Roxanne Evans Stout.
