Old school


Initially, the middle of the collage stood on its own. I wasn't satisfied with that. Then, this thick, creamy, deckle-edged paper caught my eye and it became the perfect platform for the piece. The title refers to the things of the past or about to be of the past that make up the collage: library date due cards, library card catalog cards, postage stamps. And, oh yeah, the paper itself; weren't we supposed to be a paperless society by now? 7.5" x 11" on archival watercolor paper.
