The title is BABEL….

My collage for the International Mini Art Exchange is finished and about ready for shipping to Brazil. I’ve been rushing around so much lately that at first I couldn’t get anything going I would want to send and several starts were discarded. If you know me, you know it’s hard for me to discard anything……I just keep working and working and working trying to get something I’m satisfied with. That doesn’t work as well with collage (in my estimation) as it does in layering of acrylic paint.

These little works that come in from all over the world have to measure 20 x 20 centimeters to be installed in special boxes at the venues.

I’ve been taking part in this exchange since its inception. A tireless worker and organizer for the exchange is Brazilian artist, Clara Pechansky. This was her brain-child, with the very first exhibit in Porto Alegre, Brazil. This 6th exchange/exhibit will return to the venue of Xico Stockinger Gallery in the House of Culture Mario Quintana, Porto Alegre. The exhibit will be promoted by the Museum of Contemporary Art and sponsored by the Secretary of Culture of the State of the Rio Grande do Sul from May 8 to June 29, 2008.
