more morphing

I am going to be taking part in another alphabet project at the Essex Art Center in Lawrence, MA, later this month.  I had to make something based on the letter M, and what could I do but morph mushrooms?

 

Here is a detail of some of the collaged elements:

It's a big piece, 30x22 inches.

I had been wanting to try out another configuration for the legged shrooms other than the fairy ring, and the massed grouping seems to work well.  I have completely run out of legs at this point, and short of stocking up on a whole new batch of used books to cut up, this will probably be it for a while.

The rest of the month is looking iffy for artmaking.  My daughter's school ends for the year soon, and then there is a block of weeks before summer camp begins, during which time we will be vacationing in various places, attending a wedding, and heading out on the tourist circuit.  I envision it as a time to gather source material, plot a new course, and see where my mind takes me.  The end of the year is jam-packed with exhibitions, so there is a lot to be done this summer.  I have high hopes and am looking forward to the time in the studio in July and August.  I'll try to be in touch again soon!
