Cut-paper collage 11" x 17" Sorry, but this scan is flawed: the blue and red elements are much thinner than the white triangles, so their overlap edges have creases. The creases don't show much in person, but the bright white light of the scanner really picks them up... oh well.

Cut-paper collage postcard. "Exuberance is beauty" was said by William Blake.

Cut-paper collage 9" x 12" This whole set of collages I have been, and will continue to be, putting up quickly were made at the farmhouse we just inherited in rural Pennsylvania, where I have no scanner, no internet, very little in the way of art supplies. But I did have, as you will see from these next three, an old book titled The Book of the Horse . =grin=

Cut-paper collage postcard. Photos of horses in motion all by Eadweard Muybridge. Still photos by Keith Carter. Muybridge, who did most of his work in the 1870s-80s, was a real pioneer: his documentation of animals & humans in motion is influential to this day. One issue he resolved has to do with the horse's gallop: Muybridge was frustrated with centuries of depictions of galloping horses with their front legs extended out front & up high, and their back legs extended out back & up high. He didn't think that posture ever happens in the gallop, and he proved it. He found that there is indeed a moment in the gallop when all four of the horse's feet are off the ground, but it happens when their legs are gathered underneath them. If you look at the second row from the top, the second photo from the left shows that moment.
