Reflections

This photo was taken at the Museum of Modern Art last week while touring the Home Delivery exhibit of pre-fabricated structures. I was inside a plastic-walled house with photo cells embedded in the walls and the sun was setting so these great patterns were created. MOMA always inspires in unexpected ways! The Dali exhibit was spectacular. The following day I saw the Louise Bougeois show at the Guggenheim. She is one of my heroes and I can't wait to read more about her -- I splurged on the catalog. One of her "cell" pieces had the following embroidered text: Art is the guarantee of sanity. All this visual and intellectual stimulation is so great... plus time away to reflect on my work and motivations. Today I am at the National Gallery in Washington. More on that to come.

Another for the show

A companion collage on wood panel, "Caught," (10 x 10 x 1") will also be shown at the Rocky Mountain Collage Society show. Details in previous post.

Rocky Mountain Collage

The newly formed Rocky Mountain Collage Society is having their first annual members' show August 18 - September 5th at Mesa State College's Johnson Gallery in Grand Junction. Gayle Gerson contacted me about the show and graciously met me in Denver this past weekend to pick up my work and personally transfer it to Grand Junction. I'm pleased to be involved in the inaugural show. At left is "Undercurrent," one of the two pieces that I submitted. It is 10 x 10 x 1", collage on wood panel.

Looking Back

In doing some research (while preparing my entry) for this year's National Collage Society's small works show, I came across an article, "Clip, Place & Paste," about last year's show in Buffalo, New York. It features close-ups of a few of the pieces.
