Look Into My Crystal Ball (…er, collage…)

It’s close to the end of another calendar year – what a better time to give a good once-over to the studio, getting all those papers in order…

or at least clear off enough work space so that I can get back to work.

First up: a watercolor drawing for the Emanetçiler web page.

And then finish off a couple of new collages.

And speaking of collages, I thought I’d engage in a little experiment on the cusp of 2015:

Yes,  inspired by the response to my coffee-cup readings at the Yerleşim Cafe way back when, I decided it was time to get back into the fortunetelling business – this time, with art.

Why not? We’re used to looking closely at a work of art to try to discover the layers of meaning hidden in its deepest, darkest recesses – aren’t we? (Well, aren’t we?)

So, I devised a basic system of telling fortunes from collages – starting with a basic ‘pack’ of 52 ‘cards’. For example,

The Three Trees

and

Pointy Objects

Pointy objects

And of course all readings are free.

Happy Holidays!
