This gallery has all the collages that I started the summer of 2014. I am using the papers I have printed on the Gelli plate to create the outfits for the Power Women. The design for the women was done years ago and at one time I had fake tattoos of them. This is the first time they have been done up into a completed art piece.
The Venus series is done using various papers with the female figure modeled after the Venus sculptures found by archeologists...I added my arms and lost the huge breasts...but the hips are there....you can tell it is a take off from the old ones. They celebrate the sacred feminine and the moon.
Then I got interested in baby owls..roosters...and have raccoons lined up next. I like whimsical...what can I say?
