collage of collager.

as mentioned previously (collage trial part A),
i went to a talk at the NGV where fiona macdonald spoke.
and so this mini-collage was born.
she made lots of nice hand gestures, and helf them still for a number of seconds. making them super to draw.
so i did.
i think i have them pretty accurately on the sides of her body according to which hand was making the gesture.
A. note-taking page
B. some of the little cut-out paper pieces which were all over the keyboard
C. a gesture of hands. i'm making up collective nouns.

crazy rabbit ladies.

crazy rabbit lady.
crazy rabbit lady's friend with a fringe.
crazy rabbit lady with human-ear locations.
crazy not-sure-whether-to-be-a-rabbitlady-or-a-mothhead.
it's a difficult decision.
so she asked nicely for both in non-opaque layers.

EDIT:
and this is an erotic fairy. um. because.oh and an amazing moth fellow! with chin-wings. (s)he is a luna moth.
and green.

the fond adventures of crazy rabbit lady and erotic moth girl.

moths are entirely hair.

my favourite conversation of the day:

jess says:
if you could have any animal on your head, what would it be?
Mr Finn says:
A sugar glider.
Mr Finn says:
Wait is it trained?

I was drawing flower hair yesterday, and today it seemed that moth hair might be good also.
so today I want moth hair.
with an acrylic background.

collage trial part A

photo: taken by my mum. (y)
at the ron mueck exhibition.
little drawing: mine. inspired by romance was born. from memory. i was drawing it on the train to stop myself from staring at all the interesting people.
i'm. experimenting with cut-outs.
because today I went to a talk at the ngv for the 'stick it!: collage in australian art' exhibition.
and listened to fiona macdonald talk. and she was interesting. and her collage is really wonderful and curious. mine is just a bit of an image mash-up still.
and i know there is a bit of drama about plagiarism and i'm sorry but i don't remember where i got the next few pictures that i have cut up and arranged.
the backgrounds are mine. the future-tense goal is for them all to be mine or used with permission.
