"Handiworks #4"

Every year, Dale Copeland, in Taranaki New Zealand, hosts a collage exchange exhibition. Participating artists get to create and submit 13 (hence Bakers Dozen) collages, one of which is selected and exhibited in New Zealand and on the Internet, then forwarded to the Museo de Collage in Mexico for their permanent collection. Each artist then receives a package of 12 collages from different artists back in return.

For this event I chose a theme - "Handiworks" which incorporates hands in every collage. "Handiworks #4", to the left, is the piece that will be exhibited in New Zealand and forwarded to the Museo de Collage. Because as with any exhibition, you hardly ever get a chance to see the body of work each artist did for the exchange, I have put all the collages I submitted here for you collage afficionados to enjoy.

I encourage you to look at the entire exhibition currently on Dale's website for the month of July : http://virtual.tart.co.nz/ . July 2nd the actual exhibition will begin in the SUBTARANIAN gallery in New Plymouth, New Zealand. It runs for 3 weeks.

After the exhibition is over, I will link this page to the permanent location on the Web where you can see the work. Needless to say I had a great time participating in this event and look forward to next year's event.

I appreciate feedback, so e-mail me with your comments: geri@royal-palm.com
