These collages were made in Albox. All sized A5 (14,85x21cm)
They were made as a donation project for https://www.apsa.org.es/ through my Facebook page. To enlarge click on the image. You can also see them as a slide show.
During my stay in Albox I volunteered for https://www.apsa.org.es/ and walked the dogs. During my travels I collect old books and make collages along the way. So I decided to make collages, but them on my Facebook and sell them for a donation directly to APSA. And I think it worked fairly well.
The collages are made on heavy watercolor paper and are all 14,85x21cm. Most of them go by mail to The Netherlands. To enlarge please click the image.
Some of this collages were started in Orxeta or Restábal and finished in Albox-Almería in Spain. Sizes are A5 or A6. All collages were sent by mail to various addresses. To see the full picture and enlarge it, click on the thumbnail.
Some graffiti guys thought that their massive work was more important than mine. So they got it from the wall, threw it away and sprayed their work. I fully understand that work in the open air is risky and can easily be damaged. Fine. But it is something else when “colleagues” get your work from the wall and change it for their work. It became a sort of argument where even local newspaper Leidsch Dagblad paid attention to.
Sometimes I buy an old painting in a thrift store and try to uplift it with a collage. You think you do something new but nearly everything is already done before. I bought this piece changed it a little and nailed in de Herenstraat in Leiden.
Sometimes you start an assemblage and you leave it for half a year in your work place. So sometimes I decide to finish something just for fun and hang it on the street. Here is such an example. Some assemblages and collages at the Stationsweg in Leiden.
