Jamie Wyeth said, \u201cYou have to love a medium to work in it.\u201d I have developed such an enthusiasm for collage that I also have been writing about it for three years at this blogsite. Miniatures are at the heart of what I enjoy doing most. The remarks accumulating here center on my recognition that what I can bring to the practice evolves from an ongoing investigation of the small format. When I do create larger pieces, I would hope that they are informed by my study of tiny, intimate visual relationships. Increasingly, I am embedding the miniature collage into these sized-up artworks, exploring the contrasts of scale and persuading the observer to step in very close \u2014 to interact with the ingredients at the artist\u2019s viewing distance. <\/p>\n

Over the coming year, I plan to profile other collage artists who exalt the small, and to highlight some of the \u201ccategories\u201d of collage that recently have sparked my interest.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in store?
\n\u2022 Merz-meisters: the dedicated aestheticians
\n\u2022 Endurance of the surreal face in collage
\n\u2022 The exemplars of erotic minimalism
\n\u2022 Die-hard collaborators gone wild
\nAnd, of course, much more . . .<\/em><\/p>\n

When I used to put too much on my plate at meal time, my \u201cMombo\u201d<\/a> would say, \u201cYour eyes are bigger than your stomach.\u201d Perhaps there is an analogy to piling up my wish list for future entries, and I probably have made a few promises to readers that so far I have not kept. I shall do my best, and remind myself during year four that it\u2019s not what one says about art that matters most.
