My girlfriend Gina came over yesterday for a studio visit. I was cutting a mat for a piece that was finished (I thought). We decided to go down to La Vida Gallery, so I put off framing the new collage. This morning I got up at five and realized it really wasn’t finished. It was an incomplete story. The fact that I had already matted it didn’t matter, it just needed another small dimension. Here is the before and after. It’s not necessarily better, just different, and I am much happier with it. The “before” is the top image. After I added the second profile on the right, it brought the focus back into the center of the collage. This one is titled The Cat’s Dilemma. There’s a whole mini-drama behind what’s going on in this composition but that’s for me to know and you to figure out!

Quand je pense que Jean Charest a de9je0 e9te9 leader e9tudiant dans sa jeunesse, je ne voudrais pas que vous fassiez la meame erreur et qu’on puisse lire ceci en 2042: Le premier ministre du Que9bec ( ou pre9sident du Que9bec ), Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, a demande9 e0 sa ministre de l’c9ducation, Martine Desjardins, de ne pas ce9der devant les menaces des associations e9tudiantes qui re9clament un gel des droits de scolarite9 de 7500 dollars, pour les hausser e0 8200 dollars de8s la premie8re anne9e . Ouais, c’est un sce9nario cauchemardesque, n’est-ce pas ?p.s. je suis un utilisateur WordPress. Allez voir sur mon site ci-dessous, il y a des choses inte9ressantes que je re9alise en raport avec le conflit,dont des figurines des acteurs principaux de la crise e9tudiante.N Rickert
