During the Pandemic I made collages with tiny pieces of left-over paper and shapes cut from my hand-marbled paper, composing and colorizing them with colored pencil and/or watercolor paint. I responded to each with no imposed rules, free of the need to tie them into any sequence of work, letting each take me wherever it seemed to direct me.
Simultaneous to the "Pandemic Poems" I was also doing exchange art with other artists, ultimately participating in the USPS Project. Doing the Pandemic collages led me to completely cutting up the “start” that Lori Niland Rounds sent me for the USPS Project, which resulted in my producing three additional small collages, using up every bit of the positive linework that had been in her image after cutting away all the negative space.
