Let me echo the previous comments, these collages are amazing, even tho we cannot know the depth or meaning of the collages as you do. You have to be proud of your son for being so creative, and for being able to express himself so profoundly. But it is obvious that he is definitely a <a href="http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-chi2.htm" rel="nofollow">chip off the old block</a>.... not that you're old, gee that didn't come out right! Thanks for sharing these great collages! I first looked at the title of this post and wondered why you were posting about college art…

I do collages all the time but like my writing never really think to post them online. The "Seathrough" collage has to be my favourite of the ones posted here. Probably because I have such a deep attachment to water. Thank you for sharing. XINE I love these. I do collages all the time but like my writing never really think to post them online.

My father-in-law wanted me to read a short story of his. I skimmed it, all too aware that he was showing me far more of his inner life than he intended, which I suspected - and resisted reading, for a long time. Which is why I do not make a point of my friends reading my blog. We no doubt do not see your son as clearly in the collages as you do, unaware as we are of the references and context. Still, good of you to protect his privacy, while still sharing his artistry. Amazing.

I'd completely forgotten about collage art when I finally, after many years went back to playing with form, texture and colour - you've given me a wonderful reminder, I think I might play with collage again.

Art was considered "wasted time" when I was growing up, so anything creative was done in secret. Yours and Josh's collage journals are just stunning Colleen!

I was linked at one time to a girl who does it full time, and alas I lost the link- this is why I am too disjointed to be a collaging journalist !!
