a surprising and eye catching piece! interesting how all that "empty" dark space works so well here... very cool, Richard!

thanks! always some risk in using empty space like that - good to hear that it works

uh huh, but one must see the inside cover for the full story
a very shy target

the black is inside covers from a magazine - not to mention "see inside cover" as a line from the dictionary key that is reversed at the bottom - you have an amazing eye!
and i like "shy target" - just peeking out to see if it's safe

perhaps not... might have to use a wormhole.

Often difficult to find when you need one of the these ...

the trick is to stay out of the unstable ones... never know where you will end up.

small details on the edges are very captivating , when centre is kept so minimal .
and then thereΒ΄s double meaning of Saw , that really cuts it

thanks, Isabelle! that is good to hear. i resisted the temptation to fill it in - i think i could have done that and had it work in a different way, but i decided to let it be

Thanks very much, Diane. It took a while for the collage mojo to begin to come back, but it's getting here.

It is so frustrating when the mojo goes away. I am glad it is coming back !

I find myself drawn to many of your more minimalist collages, including this one.Β I love your use of the (mostly) black background here, and the deckled stripe is great, too.Β Very nicely done!
And I can't help but see a lit blue - and stylish - stogie at the bottom...which for me, at least, somewhat ties together title and work.

Thanks very much, Vic. I had to ask myself if this one needed more elements, but it really felt done.

I always knew that high school Latin would come in handy one day!Β

I took three years of high school Latin! That was the old school. Do they even offer Latin in high schools any more?

I sincerely doubt it...except maybe in Catholic schools.

As luck would have it, Tammy and I watched Monty Python's Life of Brian last night.Β I smiled and thought of you during this scene: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIAdHEβ¦

I like the style of the most of your works; for some odd reason I see them like a "1950's style"....
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks, Anna. That's interesting! I think the little scrap of paper with "saw" on it actually comes from the 1950s
And I am definitely influenced by Robert Motherwell, who was active in the 1950s as well as before and after.
Not to mention that I was born in 1953

So you see, through my "ignorance" I saw right!
