Techno-Organic Collage
Remember this one? It wanted more layers! This
piece kept on talking to me...I would get the
strangest ideas for it while laying in bed,
trying to fall asleep. I had to get out of bed
several times, in the middle of the night, to
add to it before I forgot the ideas by morning!
Conner and I did the background together. I knew that it needed a high tech look- either steel or a circuit board. Conner started digging out computer circuit boards and this one was our favorite-it's in a cool zig-zag shape
and goes w/ the collage perfectly! I had Conner drill and bolt it together because he likes working with power
tools and I don't! ;-)
My favorite part of this one is something very simple...I LOVE the transparent words on the rounded river
rocks. (which remind me of eggs...) I also freaked out over how cool the transparent Korean symbols look
on the metal! (hope I don't offend any Koreans...I just randomly clipped the writing out of a newspaper I
picked up at Assi International! I have no idea what they mean...probably something about food! ;-)
Now, I have to get caffeinated and do more
art. Yesterday, I had a hard time doing much
of anything. I just wanted to lay around and
finish Keith Haring's Diary. It's a really good
read...I laughed, cried, was shocked and
enlightened! I now have a better appreciation
& understanding of his artwork. I am so sad,
that his life was cut so short, by AIDS. Think
of what he could have done with 10-50 more
years of being alive! The really amazing thing
about his life though, is that he did more with
his short time here, than most people do with
a 100+ year lifetime! So- a BIG thank you goes
out to Keith and all the other artists who give
so much of themselves, down here on this
crazy planet!

"If I stand in front of the mirror and gaze at my
image, I see an endless number of different
conceptions of how I look. I feel as though I
have many different faces. I put them on and
take them off, and my conception of other people
is the same. People look different at different
times. I mean completely different! It may have
something to do with how they feel, but more
likely is controlled by my feelings, my emotions,
my reality at the time I am looking at them."
