Collage with Weathered and Hand Painted Papers

“Spirits Are Everyday Things”
Collage with Weathered, Painted, and Sketched Papers
8 x 8 on 11 x 11″ Rag Paper

This collage is made up of several different kinds of papers from my pile. Brown paper with pencil marks, several small pieces of magazine pages that have been altered using Citrasolv, and pieces of weathered corrugated cardboard that already had red marker scrawls.

It was nice to get back into the studio today after being out most of last week with my family emergency. My aunt is already doing better than I would have imagined after beginning her rehab from her stroke. We are now visiting daily, but the long stays are behind us now.
