Glitches

It took most of the year to recover from a major computer crash but I now have a new computer, a new printer and a better backup strategy. They are now playing tougher very nicely...sigh.

With the computer down and tending an ill friend I turned to paper and scissors. There is comfort in hand work that I have missed and I still don't love "messy" but I did enjoy the cut and paste class with Randel Plowman.

Here are a few works completed after the class.  These were all "cut and paste" paper.

Venus Rising

Expectations

Lady Moon

Chart a Course

An Odd Number

I continue to go from the "physical" to the "digital" cut and paste and then back and forth again.

Love layers, love exploring and the magic involved.

I was taking photos for the Amt Dig Site project but this photo turned into a digital montage.

 The glove mold was a ready candidate for more digital exploration.

I liked the idea of this series, Amt Dig Site, but I got overwhelmed by the number of items. I do plan to return to this project this year. Please see previous posting for more information.

Catching up and clearing out.

My first year as a widow has been like an engine trying to start with more of a load than it was designed for. Each attempt to start a motion forward has resulted in two jerks back or so it seemed. I am gathering steam and purging files. I will be putting up work from this last year. I was trying to do more with my photography and this a small group of dirty bottles I found during my cleaning out of the studio. It seems to be out of focus but I checked and I had used a vintage filter on the photo.
