I am sorry that I have not posted anything for such a long time but things should be more or less back to normal now.
Following a walk on the beach I was rather enchanted with the seaweed and was determined to use it, now I am not quite so sure. If this had been a digital collage it would have been simple to remove it but as it is a 100% glue and scissors job I am afraid it will have to stay.

Hi Ian,
it's nice to hear from you
and as always a beutiful work.
I really like it and the way it involves the entire piece. it creates a relationship with the other elements and reminds me of roots.
Wonderful piece. Even with the interesting lines of the seaweed, its still a minimalistic treat.
Another memorable collage! Yes, by Jove, I think you've got it! So good to see you back, I've missed you.
Ian, I think your can change that profile, from aspiring artist, to artist.
the seaweed shape leads off the picture plane into the margins -- I like that -- nature has a way of keeping a sense of gentle chaos.
I love the seaweed! I posted about seaweed on my blog...as I am also enchanted with it....
This is beautiful, it looks like a footprint on your collage. It reminds me of the paper cuttings of Matisse. I'm looking forward to see your next step.
Greetings Ian,
I am glad you are back and mended, it has been far too long but then life had other plans in store for you.
The elements interact nicely, however I feel something is missing to tie everything together. Everything is to architectural like except for the seaweed, so I would suggest maybe something circular.
Wishing you all the very best from California,

That seaweed most definitely belongs there. There is fantastic balance and movement in this piece.
divine collaboration with nature, and
the determination of glue.
nice to see this composition, and your return to posting.
i've done very little myself over the summer. maybe blogging a WINTERTIME SPORT???
I think the seaweed adds a nice 'period' to your collage- a calligraphic mark that accentuates the flowing textures inside the box- very lovely.. and welcome back.
I think the seaweed is just perfect. It brings it all together somehow.
Great work!
I will stand in line with those who celebrate the seaweed...it's a lovely and fitting remark..like chop that coloristically couldn't be more harmonious.
Welcome back to blog land...sorry that you could bring up 'Winged Moon'...I may send it to you via email...though Ileave town first thing 'on the morrow' and my dreamtime is calling.
;-)
Of course I meant to write...sorry that you couldn't bring up Winged Moon'
Yes I am tired.
I like it just the way it is.
Wonderful collage. Inge
absolutely love the expression "a 100% glue and scissors job." quite nice...
Just had to say that this piece has drawn me in and captivated me. roxanne
Found your blog on a rather complicated path from a google search on Alberto Burri. I love your collages and hope to see more posts in future. I, too, believe the seaweed adds to the composition. It adds complexity without undue busyness, and leads the eye into the other elements.
It's wonderful!!
I just discovered your blog and love it very much. I have always been intrigued by paintings with writings on them, from medieval to modern arts. Thank you for sharing your amazing work.
