F&W: "Arts Project"
This was a speedy collage, completed in a single afternoon. The spread already had a picture on the recto side, which I'd loosely brushed over with gesso. The entire spread was scrubbed with a burnt ochre wash.
I began by laying down torn magazine and tissue papers, then added some printed text, a graphic of a pair of eyes and some more tissue papers.
I covered the spread with a brown glaze, and after all was dry, I went over it with a piece of sandpaper, gently sanding edges and paper wrinkles.
This is one of those items that actually looks better in person than how it appears in the photos. The text of this spread reads, "Arts Project. Innovations are changing your work."

Dear Silver:
I do not know if you are a man or a woman, I do not even know if you are a single person or a collective, I do not know in which country and in which city or village or… you live, I do not know your age, I do not know so many etceteras…
…………………………………….. but I do know that you have been pleasuring me since I found you on the Net and that I have put you on my toolbar, and that I have been returning to you on a regular and faithful basis, etc….
And I do know that when I am tired or sad even, I go on your site and am positively usually overturned…
Finally, I do know that I want to thank you and wish you: Joyeux Noël!!! on this very day appropriated for reflection and consideration
Silver: Merry Xmas/JOYEUX NOËL and Merci/THANKS.
