Thank you very much, @yaziris. You can probably see I am an obsessive person. The first night that I worked on the collage I wasn't feeling well but would not stop because the layers in the GIF refused to come together gracefully. And I couldn't do the collage without knowing more. So I read, and read.
Running both at the same time, without leaning more to one side or the other at a time can be exhausting to say the least
Yes! I am new to visual art. I've always loved it but was afraid to try creating it. Collages have opened a new world for me, and have helped me develop a whole new set of neurocircuitry, I'm sure :))
So many wonderful images were submitted in response to the contest. Amazing.
Hope you are peaceful and well.
Regards
