When 'anything goes", does it follow that "nothing matters" ? .... I think not. When I interpret "anything goes", I think it means taking a few risks and experiment, but also care about what you are doing and finding a purpose in the process.
Currently, the Tag Tuesday theme is "Anything Goes" ... This describes my daily art practice at the moment. I am doing #the100dayproject and each day I am responding to weekly published colour prompts #coloricombo, curated by artist, Este McLeod. During the last week, the suggested colours were jade green, primrose, vermillion and purple grey. Each day, I've been trying to experiment with colour and technique with the goal of developing and learning.
Here are some of the tags I created using these colours, or at least as close as I could manage with stuff from my stash... I have titled these "Fragments from Afar" as all of them feature an image or a postage stamp from somewhere far from home.

| from Japan: fabric and paper, folded flower with button. |
 |
| from Equatorial Guinea : fabric, paper , thread and postage stamp |
 |
| from Singapore: paper, postage stamp, thread and hand- beaten metal embellishment |
 |
| from Hungary : fabric, photo transfer, thread, and enamel embellishment |
 |
from Vietnam : fabric, paper, postage stamp and metal embellishment |
I found this combination of colours challenging and perhaps I didn't get the colours exactly as proposed, but in the end, I enjoyed the concept of making something like a memento of another country and liked the idea of using a mix of materials to create a little narrative.
