Collage

Correspondence
In 1978, I began a (brief) collage corespondence with my friend and fellow collagist, David Fulton. Each collage was a visual response to the collage we'd just received from one another.

David was a walker, and walked the railroad tracks from Montpelier to Northfield and back every day to get to and from his job at Norwich University. Along the way, he collected scraps, from which he constructed some of the most lovely collages I've ever seen.

34 years later, in 2012, I began another collage correspondence with another friend/fellow collagist, Alora Goodkind.
​
And! 13 years after that, in 2025, I began another collage correspondence with my friend, Linda Finkelstein, as a warm-up exercise as we geared up to create pieces for our 2025 exhibit "Don't Think; Just Play" at the Gruppe Gallery in Jericho, VT
