“The cat can pet the blues away, the purr in fur unfrown.”
I was brooding and pet the cat and immediately felt better and that sentence suddenly popped into my brain straight from the WordLand Express.
When I was little, my mother told me not to go into the Words by myself because I might get lost. Looks like she was right.
Found these three collages in a plastic garbage bag in a closet. It’s weird — I’ve been looking for these for almost a year now, and it was a delight to pick up a garbage bag, wonder what’s in it, and find our missing art. Must have got lost when we moved in 11 months ago.
Top foto is one of Lady’s first assemblages, done early 2006 in Cleveland. The next she created in Croatia late 2006. Bottom collage I did in Croatia and titled The Rise of the Novel, then totally redid in France and retitled The Coca-Cola Wars.

When I say I redid my Croatian piece in France, you’ll know why when you glance below and see what it looked like as The Rise of the Novel. Sometimes with collage assemblage paintings, you just go wrong, and this went very very wrong. I’m surprised it cleaned up so well.

Coke adds life (and death), and so does Che. Good work….
