be excited.

we all should be excited.

The fusion of experiential art, Fluxus, drawing, radio, Mexican food, the future, the past, science, make believe, diagrams, and critical theory together with intimacy, poeticism, science fiction in art practice provides the potential for the unexpected.

I'm excited.

Artist Erin Marranca is building a kit with step-by-step instructions for how to accomplish the impossible. I have been privelidged to attend a special work-in-progress preview and can only say that I believe it will be worth seeing at it's official unveiling scheduled for May 2010. the how-to kit

the lovely early morning fog of january*

* Fog is sadly rumoured to be the possible cause of the continued haziness in regards to the status of the collage artist known as P. L. Phillips and her early retirement from art practice. However as more details are confirmed in the ongoing investigations regarding LIMONEIRA copyrights as well as any further developements will be posted as made available.

what I discovered in 2008

well, maybe not a big discovery -- and why did it take me so long? very useful anyway!

when making oatmeal, cornmeal, couscous or any grain type food like a porridge, add the dry grain to the water in the pot BEFORE heating to end up with way less lumps, especially if then stirred while cooking. way better than the traditional method of adding grain/oat flakes to boiling water

thanks to Denise who always asks thoughtful questions and is herself a gourmand

international collage association announcement

the long awaited International Collage Association award winner
for "paint C" category announced today, December 20, 2008, is
P. L. Phillips

Our judges' comments: Ms Phillips is best known for her international reputation as a sender and receiver of postcards, even postal workers have been known to comment on the sheer volume of postcards that make their way to her mailbox. However, we are proud to acknowledge her more recent contributions to collage art, as clearly evidenced in "Autumn Colours" (above).

Her creativity and resourcefulness are indeed worthy of recognition. Just as a further remark, as a Canadian entry it is interesting to note the use of both official languages.

We would like to thank everyone who entered this year's competition and send special congratulations to Ms Phillips. In keeping with ICA traditions, a private award ceremony will be held later this year to honour our winner.
