Garden Party (2024)Collage
by Kat Crosby

Bold and interesting abstract collage done in strong colors of mostly black and white with touches of hot pink, green and brown with expressive mark making and fabric floral touches. It has a lot of layers, movement and interest. It was done with acrylic and mixed media on a gallery profile canvas. It is signed on the front and back along with the title and date created. It is a heavily textured unusual and raw piece that is compact enough to add to any home.

I name my pieces by what occurred while painting the piece. What moved me, what struggles had to be overcome, my mood, my train of thought, what the piece reminded me of, sometimes a song that was on and the beat moved me or the lyrics influenced me in some way. Some pieces are named clearly with a bit of humor. I never intentionally start out a painting saying “I’m going to do this, or I’m going to do that”. All of my pieces morph into something that is totally surprising and unexpected.
