Long Way to the Shortcut- Original Artwork on Paper

“Long Way to the Shortcut” Original Artwork on Paper Artwork Size: 11”x8.5”" Framed. White mat with black frame. Frame size:  Medium: Acrylic, ink, graphite and oil pastel  on paper. Style: Abstract Day 59 of the 100 day project. The 100-day project emerged from COVID-19 quarantine where it spread through social media. Creators of all mediums participated across the globe, and it inspired as well as impressed me. The subject and process of this project was inspired by my visit to the Acadian Center for the Arts’ exhibit of Eugene J. Martin’s heterochronic collages. He created this new type of collage, heterochronic- of different times, where the collages are composed solely of his own artworks that were created years ago as stand-alone works but later became integrated into more recent works on paper. With this project I wanted to finish work that I was stuck on, close to finishing, or just wasn’t working as a finished piece. On January 31st, 2023, I began my 100-day project. Challeng
