More About This Creator
Q&A
How do your pieces come to life? Tell us one interesting thing about your creative process?
"I usually begin with a drawing, which then inspires the evolution into a collage. I select the art papers which I feel will best allow me to express what I am trying to say, and let the papers "lead" me. Much of the work is spontaneous, and very intuitive."
Gerald Huth Fine ArtQ&A
What do you want people to do or feel when they encounter your creations?
"I want people to feel the emotions that went into the piece, as well as being able to follow the actual process of creativity. I hope this will challenge the viewer to spend more time delving into the intricacies that have gone into the creation of these works."
Gerald Huth Fine ArtQ&A
What funny moments, unexpected surprises, or obstacles have you encountered?
"When I buy my papers in India, Thailand, or Nepal, they are trying so hard to sell me one or two sheets, and are totally shocked when I walk out of the store with a roll of 50 sheets under my arm. I return frequently to these shops during my travels, and have become a very "popular" visitor."
