Collage number 2 is complete!
I had a tattered copy of Ernest Hemingway’s ‘A Moveable Feast’, bought it for a
mere dollar once upon a time, its pages were loose and falling out. While
framing Sylvia, I came up with the bright idea for this one.
Initially the book’s spine and
the back cover photo of Hem were not part of the action plan but when I was
dismantling the pages it ripped in such a way that was fitting to piece in.
Creative fate if you will.
This one was just as enjoyable
and relaxing as the first except I substituted cold coffee for a warm London
Porter.
The morning after I was
finished I had a bit of a Fred Flintstone thumb from the glue. I bought new
stuff so when I was done my hands looked like I had worked on a small engine.
Even the wee throb in my right hitchhiker is worth the time spent making
something else.
For those of you not familiar
with Hemingway, ‘A Moveable Feast’ is a memoir chronicling his days in 1920s
Paris as a struggling, young expatriate writer; written toward the end of his
life and published posthumously in 1964. It is a tremendous account and made
its most important quote one of the focal points of the piece.
I don’t know what’s next.
Something will inspire though, of that much I’m sure.
In propinquity,
Nic
