I've been framing a new piece that was recently accepted in to the Third Annual Juried Print Exhibition at Artworks Trenton. I have to deliver it this week, so it's been on the work table in the studio.
Artist's Journal
Strips of acid-free backing board glued into position. The strips hold the glass in place and create a shadow box so the print can be mounted floating free without a mat.

Three of my new constructed collage pieces were juried into Creative Tension 2015, an exhibition at Perkins Center for the Arts. The juror was Kirsten M. Jensen, PhD, Senior Curator of Exhibitions at the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, PA. She selected all three of my entries, and gave a Juror’s Award to Bounty’s Glow. She also accepted Gray Frame / Foggy Sky, and Yellow Lights / Pink Sky. I have been entering this show for several years. I started getting accepted about 5 years ago. I’m very honored and excited to receive my first award in this show.
The exhibition will be on view through December 6 at Perkins Center for the Arts, 395 Kings Highway (Main St.), Moorestown, NJ 08057.

Designs for the top layer of my latest constructed collage series. The smaller version at the top is the first version I did last year. It sat around the studio for a while, eventually emerging as the larger, more precise design.

I'm pushing myself to work a bit bigger with my constructed collages. I'm aiming for a quarter sheet of printmaking paper, or 11" x 15". My new top layer is a grid of triangles that rotate as they move across the page. This creates a distictive geometric pattern. I've cut the design out of a sheet of mylar, which I'm using to make pressure prints with my proofing press. These are the first trial proofs.
Next I'll cut the triangles out of the prints, leaving a grid of triangular openings; then I'll decide what goes on the lower layer to be seen through the triangles.
