| 'Lotus Storm' collage by Paul Vallance. |
I've been getting some of my collages mounted at E17 Picture Framers. Looking at the mounted collages I'm aware that some seem less 'complete' than others. This was one of them. I liked the various elements-the lightning, the ballerina, the house, the billowing red clouds but something was missing. Then looking through some greetings cards I've received I found the image of the lotus. One of the things I like about collage as a medium is that you can always add, though you do have to be careful -too many ingredients can spoil the broth! I'm a lot happier with this collage now and like the dharmic associations of the lotus rising above the rooftops.
