Said the queen:


click to enlarge.

this is my first collage in ages, featuring words of wisdom from lola hilda of the mahotella queens . how's that for marital advice?

in the piece: words cut out from local magazines, african print patterns from a recent issue of elle (a major look for spring-summer 08), a year-old pencil sketch, gift cards from a book of textile-pattered gift wrap, artist's plaster, gold gravel from one of marlon's ideation seminars, discounted ombre/rainbow paper that nobody was buying from a bras basah complex art store.

oh, and really crappy school glue that made my artwork kulubot. :P

i contemplated inking the sketch, but i didn't want to lose the spontaneous quality of all the extra pencil strokes.
