Sculpture Collaging

within the continued practice of cannibalizing my own work, i have begun to assemble 

collage-work using manipulated images from details of my sculptures. 

this allows me to retain favoritism of certain"moments" in the materials.

i can isolate certain textures i may have an internal struggle regarding preciousness in the details...

zoom-in, zero-in.

rescale, retrace, relocate

build new landscapes, explosions, textures..

piece them together with images of classical sculpture belonging to "the people"

found online. found in cemeteries and public parks- strangers made of stone . 

now inhabit a new terrain.

(both in process)

Parson's Hall

Beginning June1, we moved into our studio at Parson's Hall.

studio share with the vaccum,Dan Greenwood and Frank-the-cat.

Starting to get back into it. Putting shelving and comfortable chairs on hold for now....

On my "desk" are photocopies of letters handwritten by soldiers containing detailed observation of action on the battlefield and 2 long and narrow pieces of styrofoam that remind me of the ghost formation of a southwest strip mall when placed in tandem.
I'm starting to cleave things that i find myself becoming too precious over.

I went to Historic Northampton last week to check out their database. I also perused a binder full of trade cards. My favorite may be the giant(?), tiny (?) cherub riding the giant (?), tiny (?) worm as a silk advertisement.
