new photomontages December 2016

A few new photomontages with penciled in details. They are all 11" x 14"

this I titled Incantations and is made up of 11 separate pieces.

This one I Titled  "PSSST.....The Dali Lama wants you to wake up"

made up from 9 separate pieces.

No title but added a quote from Thich Nat Hanh

"Its not impermanence that that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer wanting things to be permanent when they are not"

New sculpture/assemblage Search for Your Invisible Heart

Unveiling another sculpture of mine this one is 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide.  Still not done, I need to paint some text and symbols on the piece as well as work out the center of it.

I've titled it Search For Your Invisible Heart.

I used a variety of different material in this one, layered plexiglass, steel, and found objects to my collages and my photography. A lot of cutting using the dremel and jigsaw. Cutting the plexiglass was pretty easy with the jigsaw once I discovered to secure a sheet of plywood under the plexiglass and a use a blade with a lot of teeth! my last attempt at cutting plexiglass on the table saw resulted in 20 stitches in my forearm when the plexiglass kicked back and gashed me! not good ( that was years ago).

I'm starting to figure out how to secure the different materials together, for instance glass and metal to wood then paper on top of it and clear acetate on top of that and making it look like they belong together.

These collages are all 10"x14" and hand cut with an xacto blade or small scissors. Images culled from literally 60 magazines and books and more than a few hours spent on each one! I also used pencils ranging from 3H to 6 B for small details  and blending edges.
