The parallel between life and collage is exceptionally profound, Duane. Love. Love. Love. AND…I am beyond excited to have a conversation with you and @Jill McDougall this Sunday!
Such great pieces here, simplicity and composition reaching abstraction almost 🖤 love how your homemade paper looks! (Have you thought about the level of transformation there? I’m sure you have)
Such great food for thought , definitely resonates for me (That’s why I’m a relentless positive thinker),And a feast for the eyes !
Sometimes I really struggle to be a positive thinker. I tend to be cynical and negative, but I’m always aspiring to hopefulness. It’s practices like making paper, and the transformation that goes into it, that pushes me closer and closer to hope. When the things that are discarded and thrown away are reclaimed and given a chance at redemption, that’s what faith, hope, and grace is for me. Thanks so much Emily!
I am so in awe of this series of collages, dear one. I see some familiar titles again, haha, and how honored I am that those words sit alongside this kind of work. These really are something. The cobalt blue though, that one is my favorite here.
So glad you caught them! I came so close to tagging you as usual, but I thought it might be fun to let them be easter eggs! Fun for me anyway, haha! All my best stuff i steal from you, looks like I owe you a few more cooked meals and source material ;-)

The longer I make collages, the more profound and pronounced the connection becomes. I’m counting the days until our chat!

Such a great piece on mending; not gathering the parts of you to RE-construct but to RE- birth….
So well said Vanessa! Thank you! Yes! Not repair, but reclamation! To be born again and again ever differently. Thanks again!
This piece speaks volumes. I’m sad to miss your chat. We’ll be away.
Thanks Leanne! Sorry you’ll miss the chat, but don’t worry we’ll be posting the recording later!
This is beautiful, Duane. I’m picturing all my scattered fragments of self gathered around the fire of my becoming.
Such a wonderful visual Lisa! Thank you for that!
I continue to be slightly envious of those flashcard numbers. ;)
Me too! I NEED more of them!

Honestly, a nice little memory exercise for me. :) Did I write it? Who knows? We can figure it out, though.
Oh it’s becoming my favorite game ever! And I have to say your memory so far is pretty impeccable!
