2025 52 Card Project: Week 12: Blocked Creativity
This collage holds the record for being the one most difficult to put together of all the collages I have done over the past five years.
I struggled with coming up with an idea in the first place (another boring week) and then struggled to put any ideas into images. This is the fifth draft. This is EXTREMELY unusual. I’d say 95% of the time I do one draft, and 5% I do two. I usually finish a collage within 1-2 hours. I worked on coming up with a concept for this one and putting the concept into images for six and a half hours. Gah.
Finally, in a temper, I decided to make a collage about my failure in coming up with ideas.
Sleep has been not great lately. The writing on the book has slowed to almost nothing.
I am exhausted and don't have anything in me to explain the image further. Deal with it.
Ironically, this fifth draft took only twenty minutes. Go figure.
