Presenting. . . Leisure 🏖️
Thank you to everyone who participated in this month’s collage! A reminder: If there are themes you’d be excited to collage, please submit your prompts here. And now, here are the wonderful Leisure collages of the month:
“Time to Read” by Melissa Crawley
Since I discovered collage, I spend less time reading, which has always been my favorite leisure activity. I plan to pick up whatever novel I’ve started but then I have an idea for a collage. So this is my ode to that lost time…in collage form, of course!
“Map to Leisure” by Christine Trigg
Maybe this is a bit too literal....but it’s my ideal. I tried to not be so cluttered with my images this month, inspired by the more direct elegance of fellow collage club members. What a luxury it is to have leisure time!
“Work Hard, Play Hard?” by Indigo Trigg-Hauger
My collage was hard to do in a leisurely manner because I ironically have been super stressed and busy! But I made a little time for it and it came together with lightness. This map is from the city’s leisure authority in a way in fact, and shows all the parks and free leisure amenities we have like swimming or loaning sports equipment. I added three figures of leisure, and on the map is marked my walk from home to work. Sometimes it feels like this is the space in the city I spend all my time in, and that can feel both beautiful and freeing, but also rote and claustrophobic. Time to discover more leisure!
““good for the soul” by Meg Woods
I’m relearning how to spend leisure time in adulthood. When I was a kid, it was horses. Now it’s travel, reading, painting, yoga, and tea. I like the idea of sailing, and carefree smoking if there were such a thing.
“Eye in the Sky” by Hannah Seo
This is a pretty small (4x3 in.) collage I made this month as part of a bigger project, which I’ll probably share in January! The word “leisure,” to me, makes me daydream of all the things I could do with all the time I could have if all the days were fully mine. Still, I am like this civil engineer, gazing at the possibilities while still hard at work. Alas!
And that’s it for our November Leisure collages, and indeed for the year 2025! Thank you for everyone who submitted, this month and every month for this past year. Collage Club has been so, so delightful for us (Hannah and Eleanor), and we hope it’s been the same to you as well.
Next up is our December theme, Newborn, the works for which we will reveal in the new year, on January 15! You still have two weeks (okay, let’s be real, a whole month) to submit — please remember to share your creations with us via email at a.hannah.seo@gmail.com. Be sure to include a photo of your artwork, a title, and (optional) a short description of the piece and/or your process.
We’ll see you on January 1st with a whole new prompt and a showcase of Newborn collages on January 15. Happy holidays, and see you in the New Year! 🎉
