we are not in the universe, we are the universe

thoughts about transformation and composting, becoming of the earth again, rebirth, reunion

So this is the latest collage piece using old photographs. I just realized I never photographed the first 2, I will correct that shortly.
These collages using the old photographs differ from those when I use full contemporary photos in that these create a story with a history. They show a
longer passing of time, an intergration of the past and what was future. I enjoyed adding the more contemporary color photos to the collage as well,
stretching the timeline even further.

thoughts of interconnectedness, parallel universes, and wonka vision

for awhile now leon and i have been talking about cutting up his photos. the vision of this idea
was floating in my head for a couple of weeks, combining 2 photographs thru the use of the
diamond shape.

definitely thinking about Fred Tomaselli, Lance Letscher and Julie Speed

pictured below is a detail of the piece i am currently working on.
still working out the technical difficulties such as paper surface, glue application and process,
but i am enjoying working with a new approach.
