gotta let her sit out for awhile before baking

I’m being commissioned to do a series of collage pieces by my sister. She has this great sense of theme in her requests so it’s been a pleasure to rip through my books and find my way to the idea.

I’ve started doing quick sketch collages on my work table as a way of building/moving/dismantling these ideas. How do you work with all the pieces in this beginning phase? I’m curious how everyone dances towards their final composition. As I practice collage more steadily, I’m finding an intuitional style and the pieces story unfolding once I have a bunch of material on the drawing board, so to speak. All of it is making me very inspired and ecstatic; assemblage is my favorite form.

I’m dealing with a debilitating chronic illness so I can’t walk far. Not as far as I wish. Thank God, the world is so detailed and there is much to look at, so much to take in on one small block. This song makes it all feel ecstatic.

Other times I put it on: when my cat wakes me up in the early morning, and I want to wind back down to sleep.

In the late evening between 7 and 9 PM when the sun is sitting behind the locust tree across the street and I get bright dappled light on my porch. I’ll sit in whatever rocking chair has the most warmth and watch people at the four-way intersection (will they stop at the stop sign? most just go for a slow roll).

i played birdman for the first time the other night and didn’t know what I was doing and thought I was taking selfies with the photo option and then it was just photos of my point of view of the strange empty land below.

just wandering around looking for my rheumatologist…
