HOUSE ON THE WALL

In '03 I forced myself to loosen up design-wise with a challenge to:

• create quick collages
• use limited materials
• withhold judgement
• all in one sitting

I made about 20 collages in a morning. One was a design I thought about doing for a while - the story of Rahab.

What a perfect design exercise for this narrative. I worked out a simple composition of a house on a wall - repeated 5 times. Each section 'told' part of the story through color & design.
No scarlet thread in Vermont where I created them - for those who know the story!
Here they are - quick & dirty. click on images to enlarge

Who was Rahab & what's her story? Coming.
