8 — Amy Silvey
Inspiration / About the Art: I began a guitar-themed collage series in 2007, inspired by my husband’s passion for music. The titles in this series are words and phrases that can be found hidden in the works themselves, so this was a perfect project for me! Of course, this one is aptly titled “8.” I love collage — it’s like putting the pieces of a puzzle together.
Significance of the Number: I chose number 8 because it was reminiscent of a guitar’s shape.
Materials: Collage, Acrylic paint
Size: 4 ¾ x 6 ¾ inches
