I rediscovered this collage last week when I needed an image to announce TVAA‘s new community post page. The idea was to promote a new feature that gives visual artists a way to post their own announcements on the site. As often happens when designing a visual hook for a TVAA post my first impulse is…

The next show by the Treasure Valley Artists’ Alliance is called “Metamorphosis,” opening in March. I haven’t ever made a triptych and I haven’t told a story in my work in years.

It’s not really much of a story. I was just sitting in the studio getting my butt kicked by an insanely tough collage and the Genie came a-knockin’. Coming out of the bottle in a big puff is no longer the scene for these guys. So, anyhoo, I asked for a little help. Here’s wish 1.

Lina came over to the house last night and we had a great daddy/daughter moment talking about this collage and trying a few things. She took the driver’s seat and solved a visual problem we were having with the wavy lines on the left. Collaboration has its rewards!

Step 1: dump all your supplies onto the table. Step 2: throw stuff together till it looks like a door and a floor. Step 3: take away all the pieces that aren’t helping. Step 4: use glue on the parts you want to keep. Use the fan on its highest speed to deal with the rest. Step 5: Done! A…
