Collage on Canvas Board

I haven't settled on a title yet. Titles are difficult for me. I wish I could just give everything a date as a title but that seems impersonal.

This collage is done with rice paper, Japanese watercolors, acrylic, and ephemera (face and wings). The face and wings are images I found in magazines. The wings were covered with textured rice paper, and I painted the face to add color. I used the body of a rice paper painting I had done last month and various hand-painted rice paper sheets in this collage.

There was a lot going on in my mind while I was doing this piece. I would be interested in hearing your interpretations of what this piece means to you.

It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Usually summer means several bicycle-camping trips, but with COVID19 still around, we are staying home. In the meantime, I have been pretty productive with my 100 Self Portraits project.
