i've been 'mixing' for over 10 years now. started in college, just because pure painting seemed so dull to me. i've always loved robert rauschenberg and joseph cornell, who've influenced my style quite a bit.
hmm. i walk about 50 miles a week in my neighborhood collecting stuff to incorporate into my assemblages..yup. i'm a pack rat alright..but, at least i make stuff out of all the crap i accumulate!
i've never heard of 727..transplanted here 3 years ago.. where is it?
I'm loving all these bowling collages! I had a look at your work on your site.. love it!!! I just did a revamp of my site (http://www.somavenus.com) and now have a links page -- is it ok that I added you to my links?
I find it interesting how you used a fragment of text. I've often randomly cut-up text in squares and then read it later as a way of focusing (maybe catching that one odd phrase).
Are you familiar with a book called "The Humument"?

I don't know you too well, so I want to ask how you got involved in mixed media art?

do tell.

Do a search of "A Humument" and it shows many examples of his work.
i found examples, mostly small, but this one had thumbnails you could click on for larger images:

can't believe i've never heard of him..the good news is, i'm planning on being in N.Y. during his upcoming exhibition at flowers gallery. whee!
A humument is really an amazing book. When I first saw this book years ago it was like a whole new way to look at the possibilities of a book.
Glad you found some large images. It's one of those books that is better to see examples than try to explain.
