I've been aching to create some weird pieces myself. The word phantasmorgorical keeps popping into my head. Thanks for inspiring me to create that which is both weird and wonderful!

O bviously with an influence of dadaist art -almost surreal-, you've had the sesibility of mixing literature with the ansamblage of readymade objects and conceptual art. I would like to know, if the books you have chosen to elaborate eache piece, have a relation with the collages or the dolls in your work... Here, in my coutry, Mexico, this work has never been done, and as a performer myself I'm intrested in the interaction and the feedback that artistic expressions can to bring one an other... Thank you for your attention.

For the flowers, I use acrylic paints and FW acrylic inks, watercolor crayons, and colored pencils. It would be difficult for me to explain how I make them because I just grab my scissors and start cutting. Sometimes I make a little drawing on a sticky note of what I want, and then when I like it, I use it as a template to make the flowers. For this particular book, I checked out two orchid books from the library to get ideas of different types of orchids and used them as models. Thanks for leaving the comments on my blog, Sherry.
