    • TARGET ART 2010 –

    •  

      Last year around Christmas, I stumbled across a load of beautiful vintage military targets –

       

      I was drawn to the color and texture of the paper,
      and the haunting black figure at varying scales (for shooting
      a various distances) .

       

      I began to collage with them and did a series of 7 collages
      while “on a Design Build Adventure” … (West Texas)
      that became the anchors of the body of work which I presented
      this year at the East Austin Studio Tour (#51 The Barn)

      over a $1000.00 for the renovation of Taylor’s Robinson Baseball Field –
