Homage to Eunice Parsons / Collage (with Eunice's papers)

I had the unique opportunity to spend the afternoon with Eunice Parsons in her studio in September of this year. It was thrilling, as she is sort of a hero to me and certainly informs my work. She presented me with a stack of "Eunice papers" and admonished me to "do something significant".  A few weeks later to my complete surprise I was invited to be in a show with Eunice, Rex Amos and Liz Cohn called Sacred and Profane the next 100 years of collage. This show will open in February 2013 at the Cannon Beach Gallery. I had better get some significant work done!

Cross-cultural co-mingling / Collage

This collage was in the Sitka invitational last November. It sold right away so I didn't have a chance to live with it at all. I'm particularly fond of this one...

Evidence / Collage on media-board

This collage was in a solo show in Gallery 114 in Portland a few years ago. It sold right away and I have borrowed it for the current exhibit at Golden Gallery. It is nice to see this piece again. It was part of a series of collages loosely based on old photographs of my parents as children.
