I know y'all are going to think this is cheating--that I just stuck a title including "age" on an abstract collage, but hear me out... Ever since Ron announced the theme for this week, I've had this phrase rattling around in my head: "The Age of Rhubarb." And I started to form impressions of what the Age of Rhubarb would look like. I decided it was before the time of humans on Earth, before the time of any animals, when huge red sulfur-fixing (not photosynthetic) plants covered the Earth, and there was all this red dust in the atmosphere. The moon was in more than one fragment, and bits of alien technical gear were drifting into Earth's gravitational field.
It was driving me crazy, imagining this Age of Rhubarb and thinking it didn't really count for the theme, because it wasn't a real age. So finally this morning I gave up, and spent hours going through clippings looking for what would illustrate the Age of Rhubarb. And so here it is... =laugh=
Makes perfect sense to me!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Wastedpapiers. Would make a great song title as well.
ReplyDeleteRhubarb, it's just fun to say! Clever and funny, Fi.
ReplyDeleteNice textures and V.Surreal Fi. Following after of course was the age of custard.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being so understanding of my stubbornly strange brain...
