A busy week in Artlandia! Making new work for this year's Zea Mays flat file submission!
I looked at the calendar and realized I have a month to make, photograph, pack and transport new work (Eep!) I tried something I've been thinking about for a while - making multiple collages with a fixed background so that it can be read as stills across time or continuously as a panorama. 
I like the way they turned out - they're small (about 11 x 11") but complex enough to have a narrative and I think I'm getting better at integrating all the parts.

| These ended up having a lot more drawing/painting in them than I realized, as evidence by the number of pens, pencils, and brushes that I used and dropped on the floor. |
I think it went well and decided to try it again, larger this time (20 x 16") by printing a section of the giant tree block. I marbled new paper, printed the backgrounds, and am in process testing out bunches of parts. I'd like to have 6 - 10 all new pieces - wish me luck! (Fortituuuuuude!)
