Cut-paper collage 7" x 8"

Cut-paper collage 8 1/2" x 11" Dissected cadaver arm from the Color Atlas of Human Anatomy . Photo at the bottom was taken on a field where the Battle of Gettysburg was fought, the morning after. Not all my collages reflect my feelings, because I was in a perfectly pleasant mood when I thought up this one. =laugh=

Cut-paper collage (plus acrylic paint) postcard created for Kollage Kit theme: "It was a dark and stormy night." Background is a B&W detail from Gerhard Richter's "December 1989." No source available for comic book panel. Face from a film by David Lynch.

Ever have one of those nights when you obsess about things that might or might not happen, so much you can't get to sleep? I'm posting at 3:50 AM, because that's what happened to me. I suppose this collage is a message to myself about the perils of peering too hard into the future. What did the Soothsayer say? "Beware the ides of March." Medium is cut-paper collage postcard. Statue is of the Emperor Constantine. Preserved hand with growth is from a Mutter Museum calendar. Boy is from an ad for The Sun (a great periodical with fiction, essays, photography). Black area is from a photo of an animal hide with black hair—it didn't scan all that well. And metal grid is from a fashion layout in Interview .

Cut-paper collage postcard. Robed figure from a painting by Hieronymus Bosch. Head of figure from a sculpture by François Rude. Snake from Albertus Seba's Das Naturalienkabinett . Four images on left from Death Scenes: A Homicide Detective's Scrapbook. Note added 09/30/18: The scan of this collage is faulty in one area. See the peculiar orange bar up and to the right of the figure's foot? That's the end of a dark block of wood with nails in it, because the figure in Bosch's painting is Jesus carrying the cross while walking on boards of nails, like mortification sandals his foot is slipping off of. The wood plus nails are so dark, they disappear into the black background. I'll see if I can figure out how to enhance that area, but since I mailed out the original as a postcard, it may be a lost cause.
