Here is an example of what I do...

I didn't start layering until I went back to school and took printmaking. The process lends itself to layers. When they offered a photoshop class, I started photomontage in the computer, it was great, so many options without worrying about "ruining" materials. I was on a tight budget back then so a piece of paper was gold. The I started molding objects in a sculpture class and the next thing was what I call second generation assemblage since the original pieces were not actually in the piece. Still being on a teeny budget and somewhat of a crow who likes to find shiny objects, I started collecting "trash". I just read that Kurt Schwitters and Donald L. Weismann both built new rooms and new buildings respectively, to acomodate their found supplies. I have filled a 1800 sq. ft studio and now am building a dome.
