WORK

I think this collage is titled "Work," possibly because it says "Work" in the top left corner, or possibly because it was a lot of work to make. This is the deepest collage I’ve ever made, about four inches deep. No, six inches. I'm not sure. It kind of seems gimmicky, this deep, so I haven't tried to duplicate this particular process, which I don't want to talk about. That would be too much work in itself. Anyway, people seem to like this one, I think because it reminds them of a diorama. There are diorama elements in all the collages, but I usually try to create depth and space with images as much as with actual depth. This one is so deep that it gets dark in there. You can barely see this inside.
