The Box

The Audition

Small assemblage from the 70's that I sent to a friend. It's made of a carved wooden frame, an old sepia photo/postcard and two plastic toys. The naked lady came from a novelty item that included a bath.

Collage Boxes / Cabinets of Wonder

A while ago I found this short but inspiring video about Greg Hanson´s collage boxes.
His boxes remind me on the Cabinets of Wonder by Mano Kellner  - which I like a lot.

They both made me really want to create such show cabinets, and I hope you like to do it, too.

Beauty as Defined in 1515 and 1950

435 years separate both women.  I think there is very little difference in the notion of beauty then and now (although I realize that 1950 is actually 65 years ago!) and that is my statement regarding this week's excellent theme.

By the way the painting of the circa 1515 beauty is a detail of "Sacred and Profane Love" by Tiziano Vecellio (circa 1488-1576) who is also known as Titan.

The mid-century beauty was cut out of a magazine some time ago and I do believe she was a Miss America.

Large and Small

It´s so hot here - nearly 103°F! I have not yet been able to make one new collage - 

so the "Giraffe Dream" is from the archives.
