Held In Place Project 1073

Held In Place Project 1073

Held In Place is a slow, deliberate collage project built around steampunk gears, geometric forms, and mid-century shapes. It's less about filling a page and more about learning to hold back — placing pieces with intention until balance and meaning click into place.

You'll work with a curated set of ten images — rivets, mechanical fragments, abstract planes — practicing compositional restraint and cantilever balance through doing rather than reading instructions. The lesson is visual weight, taught hands-on.

Grab your scraps, slow down, and see what constraint teaches you. Tear up, cut up, and stick on.
