Collage, Found Poetry, VISPO

I've been doing visual art almost to the exclusion of writing lately. One thing I do to keep the writing going a little bit is to use torn slips of paper with writing on them and add them to a decorated background. They're all about postcard size. The first one below was written with intention, that is, I typed the words out on my old Royal portable to go with the painted piece.


In this next one, the words were selected without conscious intention and pasted on background collage papers torn from books, the inside of mailing envelopes, and other scrap paper.


In this last example, words and background work together. I kept it simple so the viewer could easily make the connections I saw.
