Twenty years ago I was experimenting with abstract work on paper. I had had a few pieces framed and displayed them in my home or office. A few years ago I got rid of the frames, which I no longer liked, and imagined doing something else with the paintings eventually.
Concurrently, for years I've lamented my collection of ugly but extremely functional industrial/office bookends, those beige metal things we've all seen or worked with. This morning, these two streams of thought came together. And now I no longer have bookends I hate looking at.
You could do this with any mixed media work on heavy paper, and if I had yet more bookends to cover, I might do just that. But I'm probably set with these, for the rest of my life, or until I ever decide to change them.
An unanticipated delight from cutting up those old paintings ~ I like the work a lot better now, in bite sized pieces!
