The Body
collage in composition book
Today’s glue book entry. I had another bad weather day stuck at home, so I spent the time going through a box I’ve been carting around with me for about ten years. I had no idea what was in it–it was just labelled “Collage Junk.” Oh my. It was the motherlode. There were tons of pages cut from old Sotheby’s and Christie’s catalogues, post cards, art exhibition posters, some magazines from the 30s, 40s, and 50s, and a bunch of nifty things I’d cut out of Interview and Details magazines. This piece includes fashion ads, a picture of the skeleton of conjoined twin babies, some movie stills (one about a transsexual and the other a porn movie), and an article on do-it-yourself trepanation.
