plymouth lies
friday: thumbing though old history text books, this one from 1958, you find a lot of lies. stories told from the patriarchal, racist and misogynistic point of view. i used a story of the first thanksgiving, that in itself a myth, using painting of ships from england,...
what give you the right?
thursday: so thinking of periods, i have always been weirdly drawn to medical illustrations. i found these gynecological ones on archive.org and printed them over layers of old italian lesson books, italianite design and maps of rome. i wanted to express the control...
unclean
wednesday: looking for collage elements, i came across these period chairs, which made me think of menstruation. then i was wondering what goes with that? i have this old book from norway about catholic churches. i was telling my daughter about my thought process and...
little children
friday: last night i collected a few pages from an old child's primer from 1938. i looked at them over and over for ideas to come to me about how i could make them tell some kind of story. it came to me today to take away their eyes and mouths. i collaged them with...

a dos negros
tuesday: i have a room full of paper, ephemera, photographs and i need to keep working with them. so today i took a book off the shelf called A Dos Negros and decided to use the pages, both text and images, for a new series of collages. it's all in portuguese, and so...
stamp people
monday: randomly selected photographs with applied stamps. funny thing, the image with queen elizabeth and a group of other people, well, believe it or not, i did not look at the captions before placing this stamp on her head, and it turns out her name is "ellie"....
loosen up
sunday: spent the time painting and listening/watching pbs "and she could be next" about women of color and ethnic backgrounds running for office. trying to become looser and more abstract with my brush.
what they want
wednesday: i used my water base oils for this set, using only cyan, yellow, magenta, black and white, and also wanted to loosen up on my brush as i got to the last two, i think i succeeded with him.
look alikes
tuesday: today i wanted to just directly paint on my old photographs. why am i saving them? i sorted a large lot of them into a group of professional photos. as i was coloring them i thought they looked either like people i know or people from tv. this one reminded...
