Simplicity is perfection?

Last week I joined Stephanie and the others over at Inspiration Avenue for the weekly challenge. I was so grateful to Artangel for accepting my late entry that I vowed I would play again this week and be early this time. I have to admit, I nearly forgot about the challenge as the entry deadline got closer and I got busier than usual.

This week the theme is Simplicity is Perfection. This theme is so far out of my comfort zone, it took awhile to come up with something suitable.

When I think of simplicity, I think of the collages by Claudine Hellmuth, whose uncluttered art I've always admired. I'm not sure simple collages alone would qualify as perfection. To marry the two very disparate (in my opinion) words into something I could design for this challenge, I thought about my musician friend who would say perfect pitch is perfection. Some people have it, others learn it, still others never hit a correct note, no matter how hard they struggle.

This collage is a tribute to those people who have perfected pitch, or who were born with it, and is being submitted to Inspiration Avenue for the Simplicity is Perfection challenge. Please check out the other entries, too.

Collage details: background is hand painted deli paper, magazine image, tape transfer, and vinyl letters on an 8.5 X 11 (A4) substrate.

Today I am honoring ArtAngel who chose last week's Inspiration Avenue challenge and allowed me to join, even though I was a bit late with my entry (time differences got in my way). ArtAngel is a UK mixed media artist, who makes lovely collages and paintings on canvas. She loves hearts and they appear in many of her pieces. Her works often include multiple items in one piece of artwork, like 12 hearts or multiple decorated tags. I love this repetition, so of course, I was impressed by her art. Please stop by and visit ArtAngel today.
