Wise Words Miro

‘To me, rich and vigorous material seems necessary to give the spectator a blow between the eyes at first sight, which must hit him before other thought can intervene’.

This quote by Miro is one that I return to time and again when I feel the need to up my creative game. It gives me the courage to be bold with my materials, to take risks and create the circumstances in which the unexpected can happen. Collage is one of the techniques I use in order to achieve this and by combining both ceramic and print give the spectator my own unexpected ‘blow between the eyes’.
