in the studio - familiar with a twist

Just like a good novel the collage process unfolds and reveals itself in its own way. 
1. I look at the "cover" - first embracing the concept of what I want to do.
2. Then I imagine where "the story" might take me or I may even try to guess its outcome.
3. Get settled in and start to feel comfortable.... maybe too comfortable.
4. Be jolted into the awareness that nothing is at it seems.
5. Resign oneself to go back and re-look at all assumptions.
6. Allow oneself to be freely taken on the journey.

okay - between step 5 and 6 there is an amazing amount of confusion and frustration..... at least in the collage process.
