Collage

I'm continuing to work on the 6x6 format for this series of collages. I'm doing lots of drawing lately. I've found this blue micron pen that I just love. If you have a chance check out the ETA Show at the Nahcotta Gallery in Portsmouth,NH. The show opens this Friday September 4. Look at the work here.

Collages






These are altered postcard collages I did a number of years ago. I made about 300 0f these and framed about 50 of them for a show in double layers of plexi (which is why these photos are not too sharp) so that the backs could also be seen since I worked both sides of each postcard. I decided to put them up here since I want to continue a few posts on collage. I have been thinking about this because of the film "How to Draw a Bunny" which I recently watched. It is about the life of Ray Johnson who was the "father of Mail Art" and made incredible collages. He considered his whole life a collage, and in fact some think he planned his own death as a collage.
