This one's from my recent archives. The French sentence, "Parfois le rire de Dada fait pousser une chimère," means "Sometimes Dada's laugh makes a chimera grow." (A chimera is a mythical beast composed of three different creatures.) Foot is that of a Rüppell's vulture (
Gyps rueppellii), resident of the African plains. Middle section is the stinky part of a wild arum (
Arum maculatum), related to the famous giant corpse flower. The human (
Homo sapiens) is from a 1950s ad by Clipper Craft men's clothes for their "Mr. Cool" suit. Speech bubble is from
Haunted comics.
Love this one Fi, reminds me also of an 'exquisite corpse'. The combinations and the colors are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteExquisite in many ways!
ReplyDeleteGreat Fi! And I love how I always learn something new and interesting with all your posts!
ReplyDeleteA modern day chimera. I love the Dada quote. Excellent collage Fi!
ReplyDeleteFi, you really outdid yourself with this one. Freakily great.
ReplyDeleteThanks , y'all! That' s not a Dada quote, actually—just someting I made up...=smile=
ReplyDeleteAnd you did it in French, aussi....quite a complicated mind you have there, Miss Fi!
ReplyDelete=laugh= Rather overly complicated, if you ask me....
