Hi All,

The "Meaning to Glue" exhibit at the Nightingale Gallery at EOU ended yesterday. It was a fantastic show and I wanted to post a link here to a PDF version of the exhibition catalog for those of you who are interested but couldnt make the trip to the show.

Also, we have a few of the…

What, exactly, is outsider art? The label evokes a jumble of adjectives, from amateur to self-taught, shoddy to innovative, mad to genius, naive to prophetic. With this question in mind, we attended the 20th annual Outsider Art Fair in New York City over the weekend. Browsing…

I am starting to put the blog together for the Collage Centennial in preparation for the catalog. It is going to be massive! What is there now is only a small portion of the work for the show.

You might want to 'follow' the blog.

 I don't know where to ask this so tried here. How do you edit or delete a picture once it's posted.

                   Any input appreciated, thanks

Last weekend I took the opportunity to go to the Musee Rodin to see the exhibition Capturing the Model, Rodin, 300 Drawings from 1890 to 1917.  I was surprised to see one section of the show dedicated to “Cutting Out and Assembling.” 

Here is a  LINK to a few featured works online, among them one cut-out. 

And here are a couple of line from the…

Here's a link to an article in the New York Times about appropriation and fair use in the visual arts in a digital age.  The artist, Richard Prince, lost the case in Federal District Court but is appealing.

I signed up to participate in the Sketchbook Project that I posted about back in late November.

When the sketchbook arrived I was surprised at how small it is. I guess I was thinking it would have more pages although the specifications are right there on their site.

Keeping a sketchbook has never been one of my strong suits. Somehow I tend to write and make diagrams rather than actual sketches. So it’s a very interesting experience for me in how I’m…

 I was (am) pleased to have a piece accepted to the 27th Annual National Collage Society Juried (online) Exhibit. 207 artists submitted 389 works of which 149 were accepted. So there on the second page among all the pretty collages is Cigars80.  When I see all the great work here and at other sites like the Saatchi OnLine and the NCS I am humbled. Feel lucky. Still, kinda warms my heart. Here is a     …

“Collage” originally a French word, derived from the word coller, meaning “to paste” is an art form very much reflective of our omnipresent consumer culture and a compelling medium in…

I have been spending a bit of time lately editing and updating my website. I am still adding content, but I think it is starting to come together.

The ‘Paste-Up’ is an ever-expanding and innovative form of street art, that involves an artist making their work onto varying sizes of paper and then applying it to walls and surfaces within their urban environment using wheat-paste or wallpaper glue.  Whether as black and white multiplied…

Plenty of room for collage art.

OK, I'm trying this again. My blogposts and/or posts (is there a difference?) were looking a little wonky.

I don't mean the town in California.

Somewhere in the mist between sleep and waking I had a vision. It involved lace and fibers and paste... like old school wallpaper paste, molten wax and just a bit of paint... if necessary.

As soon as I get done with my chores, I'm going to give it a go! Pictures will, of course, be forthcoming.

Well, my studio is all unpacked after it's float across the Atlantic to New York and then on to the wilds of Upstate. On a clear day I can see to the Adirondack park from the end of my street. I have a cool barn and I keep finding really cool stuff in it.

I want to make it all into sculptures. Unfortunately I'm terrified. I have performance anxiety. So the downside of having been a professional artist on the festival circuit was that selling was important. It kills your creativity.…

Amazing Patience Art: If I tried doing this there would be blood everywhere and lots of crumpled wads of paper angrily thrown all over the floor!
