Blue Monday Mixed media collage on canvas (14"x 11") "Blue Monday" was laundry day, named for the blueing agent added to the water to counteract the yellowing of fabric by the soap. In the background of the picture is a copy of a ticket from the American Palace Steam Laundry, Buffalo, N. Y., dated 1907. |
|
Afternoon Seance Mixed media collage on canvas board (14" x 12") The typewritten text on the frame is a quote from W.H. Auden's poem "As I Walked Out One Evening": And the crack in the tea-cup opens A lane to the land of the dead. |
|
Celestial Spheres Assemblage with found objects (9"x 7.5") The cigar box, round kitchen trivet and wire were bought at rummage sales in Hustisford, Wis., and the rusty washers on the trivet were found on my sister's farm in Hustisford. The woman's face was heat-transfered to the wood from a photocopy of an 1880s cabinet card photograph from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Alternate title: Domestic Spheres |
|
The Gatekeeper Mixed media collage on canvasboard (16"x13") |
|
Ruby-Cat Colored pencil portrait collaged over acrylic on canvas (10"x8") I drew Ruby's head with colored pencils on watercolor paper and then cut it out and collaged it to the painted canvas. (But not before using it to freak out Nuts, the black cat, who was convinced there was a strange cat in the house.) |
|
Ruby, Queen of the
Linen Closet Acrylic on canvas (16"x20") |
|
Hunting Season Acrylic on canvas (20"x 16") Nuts, the mighty huntress, isn't actually allowed outside without an escort, but this is how she sees herself in the Great Outdoors. |
|
Eve's Enlightenment,
or the Naga in Eden Mixed media collage on canvasboard (12"x10") In Eastern tradition, a naga (serpent) sheltered the Buddha while he meditated. Alternate title: The Mismeasure of Eve |
|
Sleight of Hand Beeswax collage on canvasboard (10"x12") The typed text reads "Nothing up my sleeve." Alternate title: Smoke and Mirrors |
|
He Suspected a Trick Beeswax collage on canvasboard (9.5"x11.5") The typed text reads "He suspected a trick of some sort." |
|
Woman's Work Beeswax collage on canvas (10"x8") The image of the mother and ten children was copied from a cabinet card photo taken in Pittsburg, Kansas, in the early 1890s and labelled "Papa's sister Augusta and her family" and "married Zielke." In the 1900 federal census there is a widow named Augusta Ziehlk, age 48, living in Pittsburg, Kansas, who had given birth to ten children, all of whom were living, and eight of whom were still living at home with her (ages 8 to 22). |
|
Demeter Mixed media collage on canvasboard (10"x8") |
|
I Have A Garden of
My Own Photo collage and acrylic on canvasboard (10"x8") The quote is from Andrew Marvell's poem "The Nymph Complaining for the Death of Her Fawn" and is probably taken completely out of context. |
