All Buttoned Up, Collages, Numbers 1-9

All Buttoned Up is a series of small abstract collages that include altered magazine pages, buttons, and thread.

Some remind me of desert landscapes, others make me think of weathered walls and windows.

Somehow #9 ended up completely different!

But that’s ok.

Not The Button Generation

This post is an observation – not directly art related – but indulge me if you will.

This year has given me plenty of opportunities to sit in hospital rooms, keeping company of those who are in need of medical care.

Two thoughts:

1. Hospitals are awful places. Even the best hospitals are loud, noisy, impersonal, uncomfortable. They can be nightmarish for people who are confused. I can’t imagine how anyone rests or recovers in those places.

2. Patients, especially older ones, don’t understand the call button.
