collages and blood: literary criticism

The following post consists of two things:

  1. Collages I’ve made on 5×8″ index cards over the past year and a half
  2. Paper towels and tissues I’ve used to stop myself from bleeding, the result of pulling off hangnails while sitting in front of a computer

I view this as an example of literary criticism (feel free to do otherwise).

One of these collages originally appeared in screaming seahorse.  More collages can be viewed at weeatherhead.tumblr.com.  Thank you.

      Thanks for posting this. Have you read Ernst’s Une Semaine De Bonte? (“dragon014” put me in mind of it a bit)

      I like these very much. You should check out Hanna Höch. In the 1920’s creatives knew that everything was connected. atoday they spend a lot of effort trying to convince themselves and us of the opposite. Your work transcends this rather beautifully. It looks as if you lost some blood in the process: that’s what good Bordeaux wine is for!
