“And if my own children
should come to a day,
When a new Mother comes
and the old goes away,
I’d ask of them nothing
that I didn’t do.
Love both of your Mothers
as both have loved you.”
— Joann Snow Duncanson
Happy Happy to all the mothers on their day of honor!
The two 10x10s I posted yesterday on Instagram are my salute to World Collage Day, an international event contrived to celebrate and boost participation in the medium. The ingredients were generously sent to me by members of the Arizona Collage Collective. Using elements not personally selected was a rewarding exercise — an opportunity to better understand the distinction between my process of spontaneous composition and choosing qualities in the subject matter itself. For those who enjoy seeing my newest work, follow “thecollageminiaturist” at Instagram, too.
