laser hands and head waves

This is what I make when I try to trick my brain into thinking I'm in a creative mood. I'm not. 

But it does help a little. Also it's not done.

As per usual here, my collection of collage material is fairly sparse, so for this one I resorted to a picture from the right wing newspaper that's given out for free at my school. It's an art school, and they give out the religious and the right wing newspapers. Backwards?

My studio has a serious lack in terms of any kind of table/surface to work on, so this is my set-up: 

a muskoka chair for me, a school chair for my pens, a stool for my laptop and a typically green 

parisian portfolio as a lap-desk. Seems to work juuuust fine.

Siamese Twins

"Well!" He cried. "I can't tell which is Jack and which is Joe!"

Earlier this year before I left for Paris I made this little shadow box piece for my dearest friend and detached siamese twin Niomi. The twin image and two lines of text float on some foam-core, the rest is collaged with old graph paper, dictionary clippings and other odd scraps. The siamese twins are inflicted with bacocortical hyper brain content syndrome (details of which can be seen in an older blog post).

The following images are X-Rays taken from an altered book project titled 'Bacocortical Hyper Brain Content Syndrome'. The subjects in these images suffer from this rare type of hyper brain content - as evidenced by these scans.
