    The Nature of Belonging

    The Nature of Belonging

    Self-Portrait with Machine, paper collage, 2021 My last post began with a statement, or rather, a realization, that came to me Saturday morning on waking: It is not your job to acquire belongings; it is your job to figure out what belongs to you and create extensions of its light. This was a wonderful thought […]

    What Belongs to You

    What Belongs to You

    Ascending, paper collage, 2022 It is not your job to acquire belongings; it is your job to figure out what belongs to you and create extensions of its light. It is not often that my first thought of the day is as meaningful as this one. But on those rare occasions when, suspended somewhere between […]

    Strange Brew & Other Art

    Strange Brew & Other Art

    Strange Brew, paper collage, 2022 I mentioned in my last post that I’ve been missing the surreal/pop art style collages I was making about a year ago. So, I started some new compositions in that style earlier this week. Strange Brew and Wanderlust are complete, and I have two (maybe three) in progress. Strange Brew […]

    Minimal Spaces (Big Worlds)

    Minimal Spaces (Big Worlds)

    Horizon, paper collage, 2022 Lately, I’ve really been missing the surreal/pop art style collages I used to make. So, I spent time yesterday working on a few really fun compositions that I hope to share soon. I love working with strange objects, vibrant colors, and quirky landscapes, but it’s certainly not what I would describe […]

    Birds & Blooms

    Birds & Blooms

    Brown Thrasher I thought I’d share some photos from the garden. As far as birds go, I have a terrible backlog of photographs to share. Here, I chose to focus on jays, finches, and a few other species, like the Brown Thrasher above, who I either haven’t shared or haven’t shared much of in awhile. […]

    Command Performance & Other Art

    Command Performance & Other Art

    Command Performance, collage on vintage postcard, 2022 I had a lot of fun making this batch of artwork. Command Performance and Germinate are my two favorites. I actually like Command Performance so much I am gifting the original (prints are available). Germinate took awhile to make. It began as an attempt to utilize the half-beetle […]

    Edge, paper collage, 2022 a phone booth; a field of fireflies what we choose to leave; what leaves us writes, “to transcend the frail bonds of consciousness” the proximity of remorse the rancor of an unworn pair of shoes I’m very much enjoying the process of making poetry and collage together. And it is, I […]

    Barely Kissed & Other Art

    Barely Kissed & Other Art

    Barely Kissed, paper collage, 2022 I’ve been experimenting lately with scraps and colored backgrounds. I’ve also, as you’ll note below, been working on some landscapes, which are a bit different for me. But I think both the gorgeous weather and the time I’ve been spending outdoors–in the garden, especially–have inspired me to try some new, […]

    Input & Output

    Input & Output

    Hibiscus Flower I’d like to begin this post with a short apology. (I was hoping not to have to write an introduction like this, but I am afraid certain things can’t be helped.) At the end of April, I left home for a few weeks of traveling. In terms of the blog, I had planned […]
