We started with a blank canvas and the desire to use collage pieces. Charlotte arranged the multi- coloured foil pieces which set the tone. As I worked, I asked for feedback on colour and positioning. I placed the scrunched silver tissue, silver leaf and blocks. Charlotte added the red on the blocks and positioned the mirror. Eventually the result was a work we were both satisfied with.

I have always respected the wisdom of older friends and relatives; after all, they probably experienced the same situation and found a solution in the past, so why not ask their opinion? By living through wars and times of hardship, the older generation have learned to adapt, something we need to re-learn in the current economy.

Silver with Red Blocks on the theme of “making do”.
