8\/22\/20 \u2014 The most recent open call by the Laurie + Doug Kanyer Art Collection<\/a> had me musing on the subject of memory. I thought back to last year. While caring for my mother with dementia, I made dozens of thumbnail studies smaller than 2-inches square. As I write this, she now resides at an excellent facility. With the current lockdown, no visitation is allowed. Looking back over all those spontaneous exercises provides a connection to the \u201csmallest of things,\u201d a key aspect of my collage practice. More significantly, it reminds me of her \u2014 one of the \u201cgreatest of things\u201d during my life. From her I learned the commitment to always do the best I could, if something was worth doing in the first place. In her honor, I made a daily collage diptych during the month of July, 2020, with each one exploring a random aspect of \u201cforgetfulness.\u201d<\/p>\n
