A Collage is Born


I made this video to show all of the different elements that go into one collage. It doesn't show the slow process of selecting, cutting, and editing that happens before an image comes together, but that might be a bit boring...





The Other Birth of Venus


One story from Greek Mythology tells us that Aphrodite, the goddess of love, (identified with Venus by the Romans) was born from the white foam produced by the severed genitals of her father Uranus (Heaven), after his son Cronus threw them into the sea. Really the female embodiment of sexual love and the generative powers of nature arose from some balls and water? What about goddess mama?

In this revision the goddess springs from her mother’s belly (hip? womb?) perhaps after a chance encounter with a sexy octopus under a pomegranate tree.
