Collage

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
~Pablo Picasso

Find scraps of paper, torn receipts, movie stubs, half-completed lists, the napkin someone used to add the bill, and any textured paper. Scour sidewalks for torn lottery tickets. Don't neglect the Sunday paper or the catalogs that help the Postal Service survive. Emails and text messages can't be snipped and added, but old letters will work.
These are the detritus.

Find a sturdy support and begin gluing layer upon layer. Don't neglect composition, design, color, but don't let those take over. You're looking for the soul of the construction.
