Description
Although I really like the faded brown, beige, sepia and black colors throughout this collage/photomontage, I felt it lacked something without the two touches of red (or rose color): the 3-sen stamp (issued in 1913) and the red hanko (signature “chop”) in the lower right.
In addition, since the collage/photomontage contained mostly straight lines, I added a large circle in the upper left that echoes the hanko (signature “chop”) in the lower right.
Artwork is a series of edits. We begin with something and then, not unlike a writer, go back and sort of “fine tune” the piece. Is any of this pre-planned? Not in my case. I sort of make it up as I go along, with one thing leading to another.
