collage #7 for 2026.

I expect this will be the last one for this round; i have tidied up my work bench and put away all the little scraps of pictures.

These collages assemble themselves from scraps and leftovers from the Feb (or March) collage party. lots of art magazines and National Geographicses. some of the bits here have been kicking around for years, some are scraps from collages made by other artists in my studio this year. I choose and place by visual intuition, no grand idea, yet often a mood emerges.

ALT: magazine picture collage. the background is the interior of an old and rubble-filled church (Turkish, if I remember correctly). there’s a man walking through it. he is surrounded by bits from a painting found in an art magazine, that have a flooded house and two people reaching upward, in this context, from windows of the church. There are also some bits from a Bosch painting, and a couple of odd creatures from National Geographics, including a man having a stare-down with an emperor penguin across the rubble.
