phase one

Today is the first day of my new life.  I have been waiting nine months to work on this collage.  The desktop collage (previous post) was a warm-up for this one.  Right now I am methodically going through all of my National Geographic magazines, selecting potential images, my thoughts slowly warming up.

So, looking at this mess, and reflecting on the desktop collage, I realized that this piece will need a "sturdy" composition, some systematic architecture, some organized sub-structure to lend some control to a surface that will ultimately be chaotic.  The solution I am leaning toward is small squares, perhaps three inch squares.  Each of them, then will be its own composition within the larger composition.  So goes my thinking at this point anyway...
