Dream Cake & Other Art

Dream Cake, paper collage, 2025

I picked up a few vintage Life magazines while I was out running errands yesterday morning, and I haven’t been able to put them down since. The ads are so good–especially the food ads. You’ll find some of them below (and in Dream Cake, above).

I had a lot of fun with this collection. Among my favorites are Asleep in the Soup, Growing, and Dream Cake. I also desperately want to live in the mountain house in Dream House. That said, I hope you enjoy these experiments in collage art.

    1. Thank you! That was serendipitous. I found the little girl in a 1950s Spiegel catalog. She was dressed perfectly for the cake. 😊

  3. I like the “Simulation” 🙂 watching TV with the grand cosmos on your mind and ascending a flight of stairs all the way to it 🙂 Love it.

  4. Growing (with it’s Alice in Wonderland vibe) and The Simulation are my favorites. All surreal and beautiful.
