META: Book III

1.) the Bee-sides
(collage, ink and charcoal)

2. Mother Mary
( collage and mixed media)

Every image evolved over the course of the year. While I was creating a new collage on a blank page, I was going forward or backward and adding and subtracting from pages. This book has been a very personal experience for me. It is very much a visual narrative and you can start anywhere in the book and land on a story. I am especially fond of Book III. I regard it as a love song made with scissors and glue.

2.) I Think I'll Stay Awhile...
(collage, ink and acrylic)

Songlines, also called Dreaming tracks by Indigenous Australians, are an ancient cultural concept and motif perpetuated through oral lore and singing and other storytelling modalities such as dance and painting. Songlines are an intricate series of song cycles that identify landmarks and subtle tracking mechanisms for navigation. Each songline has a particular direction or vector, and walking the wrong way along a songline may be sacrilegious act, as at, for example, climbing up Uluru when the correct direction is down. For the Aborigine all land is sacred and alive. Their ancestors gave life in singing, gave them life through song, and dwell in the land still. The songs must be continually sung to keep the land "alive". In singing they preserve the land/story/dreaming of their ancestors, and recreate it in their oneness of past, present and future.
