I call them that because instead of pasting cut-outs <i>onto</i> the background, you cut a shape into the background and paste your cut-out to the back, so that it shows through the background. They're quick and often striking, fun to do.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJL_2Fmfo8WwV9bE_I6XkeoGZs4Ysmtrpo3TX673y5qoXfmBxNTfTigXHaXkePqQc-cpAAhhPRd5l-zBXaKyjWR88waFJOgyArNgAP0dBpCjGNDON9agPm7vpH64fJvD5TuS4sIKBHSSiS_aRwqGuv5lVyEYpPaUWsl6Bvat1XzmcuyFt6En7FXW3U-Q1o/s2752/Her%20300%20smaller.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="2316" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJL_2Fmfo8WwV9bE_I6XkeoGZs4Ysmtrpo3TX673y5qoXfmBxNTfTigXHaXkePqQc-cpAAhhPRd5l-zBXaKyjWR88waFJOgyArNgAP0dBpCjGNDON9agPm7vpH64fJvD5TuS4sIKBHSSiS_aRwqGuv5lVyEYpPaUWsl6Bvat1XzmcuyFt6En7FXW3U-Q1o/w538-h640/Her%20300%20smaller.jpg" width="538" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Her</i>, 12x12, 2024</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Cut & paste paper collage (magazine scraps)</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4v4C3yzerHthDpZ8aHvnGlhJtolw3YDl0tuohaHLYZgTNPra40OVjzxRsgtQOjYZky1Ul3kjHpy9WxB1_A1TXXzFc9P5YvyyRotdlNBYIMYGFxxPGGkFq_k7tAewhZ_Dda2LsTrjNwuhlxiuUm5EeB8ZAJnv9pfeN5HcfSQKPozWJ4HL-DfyvSyGG5wIC/s2824/Him%20300%20smaller.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2824" data-original-width="2318" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4v4C3yzerHthDpZ8aHvnGlhJtolw3YDl0tuohaHLYZgTNPra40OVjzxRsgtQOjYZky1Ul3kjHpy9WxB1_A1TXXzFc9P5YvyyRotdlNBYIMYGFxxPGGkFq_k7tAewhZ_Dda2LsTrjNwuhlxiuUm5EeB8ZAJnv9pfeN5HcfSQKPozWJ4HL-DfyvSyGG5wIC/w526-h640/Him%20300%20smaller.jpg" width="526" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Him</i>, 12x12, 2024</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Cut & paste paper collage (magazine scraps)</span></div></div><br /><p><br /></p>paperworkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09670939543956060381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3207554117338359649.post-9259835733200029332024-03-14T21:39:00.000-07:002024-03-14T21:39:26.021-07:00Assignment: Make a collage using no glue.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJpTdtxRHBVxKLXkkcYD0l80720mC3nE5pwM3TdOzRvAnP39jiJYBojE3zsBXHW-8jLUsjNDsUymaOgMHeCA2M0utXug0xLRB60sOB97js6mzab_gzWQGh4dPiE0jlj5lXchh2btgS77GI-w83lYLXKW8o14qc4HKn1JngxmIrNFMEuIS_tuuRzWub5u2F/s2680/There%20Could%20Be%20a%20Different%20World%20300%20smaller.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2680" data-original-width="1868" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJpTdtxRHBVxKLXkkcYD0l80720mC3nE5pwM3TdOzRvAnP39jiJYBojE3zsBXHW-8jLUsjNDsUymaOgMHeCA2M0utXug0xLRB60sOB97js6mzab_gzWQGh4dPiE0jlj5lXchh2btgS77GI-w83lYLXKW8o14qc4HKn1JngxmIrNFMEuIS_tuuRzWub5u2F/w446-h640/There%20Could%20Be%20a%20Different%20World%20300%20smaller.jpg" width="446" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>There Could Be a Different World,</i> 7x10 2024</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Cut & paste paper collage, no glue (thread, safety pin, vintage sewing snaps).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">For the NWCS Winter Exchange Project.</span></div><br /> <p></p>paperworkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09670939543956060381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3207554117338359649.post-11317930395062871462024-03-06T22:26:00.000-08:002024-03-06T22:26:04.898-08:00Some Grayscale on a Gray Day<p> Perhaps the weather has something to do with it.

So, of course, a day or two ago I got another bright idea, thought of a cool title, and I'm working on that, instead of EVERYTHING else. I don't feel bad. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.</p><p>So, basically I am tearing pieces of pages out of newspapers and using acrylic paint to highlight one detail from an image. The pages are large, 11"x11", and they feel great. Words? Not sure, we'll see. I'm having fun with it and I'll be interested to see what it becomes. (Assuming I ever finish it, she said contritely...).</p><p>Here are the first 8 images:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg80Zj9NfidxBfl6hQD3az0iuwD7rB1IMcNQF8EHxYm8FevXzQpCQMV9IPFpcltJmV0DHsqjU09zyKAXvOogIkHJC2CHrggedrdjFPxHLdemppzpj7vqKWeaB2T880FkzatEHrGOOTN7m5waQcgt2a0bBYfjRhbDfQrWWwKivgpK6r6mrVdfBYqaybDsW6_/s2400/News%208.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Myth & Magic </i>is the 11th edition of an art show celebrating artist's books, which is on view at the Decatur Branch of the DeKalb County Public Library in Decatur, GA. The organizers state:</p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><i>Humans possess a fundamental attraction to stories and storytelling. Folktales, fairy tales, and myths are foundational narratives that bridge the secular and the spiritual and merge the factual with the fantastical. Art can challenge and disturb, restore peace and calm, uplift and inspire. Myths and magic transport us and bind us together in the world of imagination.</i></p></blockquote><p>Fifty artist's books will be on display in the Fourth Floor Gallery of the Library from September 7 through October 30. I am very pleased to have one of my accordion-style books about Greek mythology (<i>Eternally Damned</i>, 2017) included in this exhibition, and you can find out more about this wonderful exhibit <a href="https://decaturartsalliance.org/book-as-art/" target="_blank">here</a>. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcfGQRTaLTU0XV93hjuXuuvBZ_T52ltMZurJWUdYucR7mWMSboVPgMtJF98tXYMVKVYWwgXnUNFudqxQQbTtz7nEpdOLKyzhKovH294P7PJnEND9x2OaJdUgh1uYOkaQdabceXGwobT0jufUTKx8fb28UAA0k2NEB-P6k3TJ9wm8GeMrHbk1MNZlXnPkH-/s2368/Eternally%20Damned%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2368" data-original-width="1877" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcfGQRTaLTU0XV93hjuXuuvBZ_T52ltMZurJWUdYucR7mWMSboVPgMtJF98tXYMVKVYWwgXnUNFudqxQQbTtz7nEpdOLKyzhKovH294P7PJnEND9x2OaJdUgh1uYOkaQdabceXGwobT0jufUTKx8fb28UAA0k2NEB-P6k3TJ9wm8GeMrHbk1MNZlXnPkH-/s320/Eternally%20Damned%201.jpg" width="254" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihIyYEZTjlf0--1RH_FaGuOJdZ74e_ywBMWAYuea_iAULUW23rA_TS9Ljjcd5W9tqh1rKfduS3ClAIQqsZfVzGKdPz3QbT6dUhYfB9T9NoVSd7QIc7InusD0MKYEjlRGJp2l53D4dosk-PqK_obn6XZn8_fx2KpbHTCEeqWxPOUMFeBOH3P39OJ3euM5jO/s2584/Eternally%20Damned%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1292" data-original-width="2584" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihIyYEZTjlf0--1RH_FaGuOJdZ74e_ywBMWAYuea_iAULUW23rA_TS9Ljjcd5W9tqh1rKfduS3ClAIQqsZfVzGKdPz3QbT6dUhYfB9T9NoVSd7QIc7InusD0MKYEjlRGJp2l53D4dosk-PqK_obn6XZn8_fx2KpbHTCEeqWxPOUMFeBOH3P39OJ3euM5jO/s320/Eternally%20Damned%202.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiizieaOVo2Ta7c_UCUfQ6OQxSPJn8qDI7GNxVcQ6TPvha1wyQQj303V3p86y8m3aZQZ2EztkKrA_6q6kjp7L3M_vCJPSPPReEOuXTF8Vd0kW0Gnsa9jUGHUVzpMMOHqUDzecvupkBN6-ZuAeqhqWVfyfxqDBhM6K-5TR3d5jkUY1gPKJKl-Lb1qQulIenH/s2400/wip-10-actaeon_33033465701_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="1921" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiizieaOVo2Ta7c_UCUfQ6OQxSPJn8qDI7GNxVcQ6TPvha1wyQQj303V3p86y8m3aZQZ2EztkKrA_6q6kjp7L3M_vCJPSPPReEOuXTF8Vd0kW0Gnsa9jUGHUVzpMMOHqUDzecvupkBN6-ZuAeqhqWVfyfxqDBhM6K-5TR3d5jkUY1gPKJKl-Lb1qQulIenH/s320/wip-10-actaeon_33033465701_o.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>paperworkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09670939543956060381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3207554117338359649.post-59224112013844559702023-08-18T07:54:00.001-07:002023-08-18T07:54:16.442-07:00Everything You Think Is Solid Can Disappear in a Heartbeat<p> Working on some 12x12 collages for submission to a local exhibition.

A huge part of America's suicide problem is a gun problem. According to the Giffords website, guns are used in only a small fraction of attempted suicides, but because they are so efficiently lethal, they are responsible for a majority of American suicide deaths. (Giffords is a nonprofit advocacy group run by former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, who in 2011 was shot in the head by a gunman who killed 6 people and injured 12 others.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Suicide attempts are often impulsive acts. If we can reduce the availability of firearms during moments of crisis, we can reduce suicide rates and save lives. The NRA says people who want to commit suicide will simply "find another way." Ignore their lies. The evidence shows that the vast majority of people who survive suicide attempts do NOT later die from suicide. They DON'T find another way to commit suicide, they find their way out of a crisis and move forward. When guns are easily available, they don't even get that chance. </div> <p></p>paperworkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09670939543956060381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3207554117338359649.post-71632472858167616872023-02-02T11:33:00.006-08:002023-02-07T15:38:27.514-08:00Guns Guns Guns Guns Guns Guns Guns Guns Guns Guns<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnEnrpHkICtWUeeFE0pM4Vkid1pNmONg-v4HKnPmti2qoneES2RjuoNk0PV7zPphH5gXT86YHvpRQ-VPUmpr-7DNnS2HygOOWIHhqQuGKwC2YR5vs12xEqDn7-7OS_1YNeLm9_Tkwyva0-xVO0ufH-iXgNKlWNFmLNPrl3Un0uqFUhZPpYxjw5q8Zs2w/s1642/harbingers%20page%202018.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1642" data-original-width="1102" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnEnrpHkICtWUeeFE0pM4Vkid1pNmONg-v4HKnPmti2qoneES2RjuoNk0PV7zPphH5gXT86YHvpRQ-VPUmpr-7DNnS2HygOOWIHhqQuGKwC2YR5vs12xEqDn7-7OS_1YNeLm9_Tkwyva0-xVO0ufH-iXgNKlWNFmLNPrl3Un0uqFUhZPpYxjw5q8Zs2w/w430-h640/harbingers%20page%202018.jpg" width="430" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Harbingers</i>, 2018</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">cut & paste paper collage, part of a series of little collages</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">made from book pages and reading primers </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">for "Zine in a Box" </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Since the Columbine school shootings in 1999, parents, school officials and politicians have struggled with how to protect and prepare schools against gun violence, and most schools now have regularly-scheduled active shooter drills. Many of these programs rehearse simple lockdown procedures, but the "hardening schools" approach involves teaching kids "skills" -- how to jump out of classroom windows, barricade doors, fight back by throwing things like erasers and books at an attacker. Sometimes the drills have added elements to make it seem more like a real attack, such as no advance notice or indication that it is only a drill, the sounds of gunfire coming from the school hallways, screams, fake blood, etc. This approach is coming under increasing attack because of the emotional trauma many kids are experiencing as a result of the realism in these kinds of drills, and a significant number of people even question the value of drills at all. Some states like mine (Washington) are passing legislation to make it clear that realistic simulations of gun violence is not the best approach.</div><p>Whatever the approach, the situation is summed up nicely in a tweet from a teacher named Bill Ferriter (@plugusin), at 3:59 AM, on 25 May 2022:</p><p></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p><i>During every school shooter drill for the past 20 years, I've promised my students that I would do whatever it takes to try and keep them safe if we were ever in that horrible position together.</i></p><p></p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><i>It is America's greatest shame that those words ever need to come out of my mouth.</i></blockquote></blockquote><p>Thanks for your service, Bill. </p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p></p></blockquote></blockquote><p></p><p><span><br /></span></p> <p></p>paperworkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09670939543956060381noreply@blogger.com0
