Inspired by my favorite assemblage artiste, Michael de Meng, I got me an old black typewriter at a yard sale a few weeks ago.Jack and I took it apart a few nights ago. He was very helpful with the stubborn screws. And we did not break out the dremel, which was pretty cool. Just lots of elbow grease and soap to clean up very black hands at the end of four hours disassembly. Now- it's in pieces waiting to be transformed into new works.
I've actually used a few little pieces in a work that I am finishing for the Book Arts Guild show that opens in a week and a 1/2.
Some fantastic news, the little shop/gallery in Brooklyn, who is sell my work, is going to feature my art with another collage artist in October- They are having a Halloween show. I guess my ghostly melacholy is just right for that promotion.
