Collage

Engage with the tactile
found objects    found images
pliability of pages from periodicals   
& the rigidity of postcards   
cancelled stamps & their fragility    friability    frangibility
scissors    tape    markers & pens
dot of glue behind the downy feather
words are not synonyms
images & objects not interchangeable

Engage with the tactical
where the blue    where the green
if the steps are cut & turned    are they still steps
is that a thought or a hat in her hair    does it matter
copyright & fair use    public domain

Press the things   all the things    firmly to the substrate
take a photo    take another
slip the bricolage    safely    into an archival folder
offer the images to the alisio    the sirocco    the chinook
