Thanks so much for the mention! But even more importantly thank you for mentioning Katrien De Blouwer more people should know about her and her work. It's so poetic, and if there's one artist I wish I could emulate stylistically, it's her.
I agree, she’s incredible. It took me forever to remember her name and I’m so glad I did. So much intention and feeling in deceptively simple compositions.
Thanks for sharing a selection of your art with the essay, Nathaniel—excellent artworks.
I wholeheartedly agree with your Substack recommendations. Top peeps!
I've been doing collage the past few months, heavily using AI generations as a comment on reclaiming the creative aspect. It's also part of a conversation about where collage assets come from.
Here's to an even bigger movement in collage—one in which nobody needs to be concerned with perfection, as you say. Curiosity, play, and exploration are where it's at.
Duane has also been using AI generations, cutting them up and mixing them with analog materials. I think bringing it in to a larger process and/or subverting it is a really interesting approach!
Celebrating this post with two hands waving in the air, Nathaniel. Yes, yes, YES! And for the mention, I'm entirely flattered and grateful. Keep doing and sharing the amazing things here. You're appreciated!

I love collage! Yours are inventive and fun. Thanks for listing other Substacks too, you are so generous!
Thanks for sharing! Something that really interests me about collage making is that it lends itself well to do it with my kids.
Collage is great for kids! And a pretty cheap activity, too.
Good ideas, and I love the Vonnegut references.
