ciao amici..
since I created so many pieces
for the Portfolio article
in
Somerset Studio
I thought I would break them into two
blog posts
one featuring cradled boards
and the next one sharing the
Khadi papers
 |
| Strolling Paris. ... 8 x 8 Italian collage.. this is the largest piece of Italian collage which is actually two pieces of collage worked together to form a large collage piece. You can see the split down the center where the two pieces match up... |
the name of the show is
Les Jardin Des Amants
the garden of lovers
this collection began with an idea I had of a secret garden where lovers met...
and I thought is would be interesting to create the feeling of
those trysts
on board and papers..
what they saw
 |
| close up of Strolling Paris |
and how they felt...
as usual, I concentrated on the relationships using text as conversations, this time painting out the text
to express whispers..
 |
| Portfolio article in Somerset Studio, Sept./Oct. issue |
and rough edges and layers
communicate the changes in the relationships and
the complexities
of love...
 |
| Le Petite Illustration, 8 x 8 cradled board, Italian collage. The center focal piece is actually three pieces of Italian collage... |
the longing...

the waiting..
 |
| the article also featured my mini Italian collages... |
and the sheer joy of being reunited...
 |
| Tulipes, 6 x 6 Italian collage |
what is seen... what is oblivious...
a blur..

all of these details...
the mystery and anticipation...
 |
| tiny bits and pieces of tissue and book scraps adorn Strolling in Paris above... |
I hoped to reveal in these abstract pieces...
 |
| one of my favorite pieces, Figure 72, 6 x 6 Italian collage with french book pages and student french lessons.. |
I am very happy with this collection
in the French Paper Series...
and so pleased with the article...
I am so fortunate and blessed..
