It’s always a little risky to step out from what’s already working, but I just finished two new collages with an Asian influence and a different, softer palette than the previous Renaissance-themed work. I liked the idea of using Noh masks as a central motif – I’m still using my altered fruit photos, and they still seems to work. So far, so good – would like some fresh new work for the April show at La Vida. This feels like a good direction right now, or maybe it’s because I’m just ready for spring after all this unusually cold weather!
