Fig. 20 When the preparation of the prints is done, I start the further steps. For the large format version you cut one part out of one piece and the next part from another etc. (similar to Fig. 20) The single parts must fit approximately – take care! For the next step I need some fibre glue (paste would also do, but has a weaker hold). Now it becomes clear why I did varnish the pictures before – if you do not prepare them like that, the ink may be dissolved which causes smearing.
Fig. 21 With much patience and using a radiant heater I manage to apply the snippets to the canvas before they have a chance to go wavy. Canvas,in contrast to cardboard or wood, offers the advantage that the humidity may soak into the material at once. With hard and non-absorbent supports, I recommend the use of spray glue or Fixogum, which may be rubbed away from the surface of the picture.
Fig. 22 Approximately in the middle of the picture, or after about three hours and a half, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. A nice patchwork texture appears and the motive starts appearing. Using this kind of collage, you get a very special effect with almost every motive. It is also interesting when used only for parts, e.g. for a certain area within the work of art.
