Where Do You Get Inspired?

I'm circling back to the exhibit "The Art of the Book & Paper" and this illustration used in a book. What intrigues me is the dress -- a collaged image mimicking the shape and function of a dress -- for how I might make fabric to make used in garments. This inspires me to print and to compose with large motifs.
 

Aftermath

Yesterday was half of a work day, today totally. But I managed to finish a few things on the list. This is a small collage using plastic packaging as the "container". It's by Martha Shermerhorn, and is as clever as it gets. I've got a bunch of these, but this seemed appropriate for this week's start. 
 

Details Tell All

Susan Griffith's work "big" at the Made in New York exhibition intrigued me. The collage held layers of printed imagery and drawn marks that united for a large and graphic effect. I'd say it was my favorite piece there 
 

Exquisite Corpse

The "Exquisite Corpse" takes many forms; this game via a friend. As the third player, I took their image and recalculated. It's now a page-sized collage, sewn from a print of their image with added material. I've passed a photo print to number 4. Think of trying it with friends -- virtually.

Gallery Check

While doing a little business downtown I popped in to Rochester Contemporary Art Center to see the "Cut/Paste" show that features assembled works. In the small space was a collection of album and disc and tape covers from Carbon 25. These were all fabulous graphics, diverse, and thought provoking. This was one of the covers.
