“Pockets of Crushed and Broken Boredom” 9 w x 12 h inches - For the #secretrobin ‘Everyday Magic’ challenge, I had wild ambition to print out a bunch of pictures (3rd pic) and assemble them in some sort of meaningful way (2nd pic). - Alas, it did not come together, and so I started an Abstract Placing. It turned into a little lonely guy (or girl?) making their way in the world. Or trying to. But still whistling. - - #foundobjectart #foundobjectcollage #pdxartist #trashart #garbageart #foundobjects #foundobjectfigure #theartofeverything #Tao-E (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeR8FLHvPP7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Better Way in to The Ether* - Day 197 #DailyArt - Acrylic, charcoal, paper towel, oil stick, pen, pastel, graphite, #analogcollage , and #foundobjects on paper - #TheArtOfEverything⁣ #UseWhatsAroundToMakeArt ______________⁣ -⁣ -⁣ -⁣ #collageart #paperart #handtorncollage #abstractfigurecollage #primer_contemporary #contemporarycollage #pdxartist #nondigitalcollage #foundobjectsculpture #foundobjectart #foundobjectfigure #abstractcollage #paintingwithpaper⁣ ~ Under the “Learn Something New Every Day” file ~ *Aether vs. ether (from The Grammarist: https://grammarist.com/spelling/aether-ether/ ) - Aether (or æther) is an obsolete spelling of the noun with various definitions relating to air, chemical compounds, and nonexistent clear elements filling outer space. The word is usually spelled ether in all main varieties of modern English. Aether still appears as a poetic affectation, especially in reference to the word’s ancient Greek and Latin senses, but ether is preferred by a large margin in most types of writing. - The æ in æther is a Latin-derived letter that represents different sounds in different languages (and it still appears in some modern alphabets). The letter was preserved in numerous Latin words brought to English between the 16th and 19th centuries, though later in this period æ was usually rendered ae, as it usually is today. Many of these words, like ether, have dropped the a over the last century or so, so that, for instance, encycolopaedia is now encyclopedia, anaesthesia has become anesthesia, and aeon has become eon. Some of them have dropped the a in American English but retain it elsewhere—for example, pediatric/paediatric, anemia/anaemia, and feces/faeces. Others retain the a everywhere—for example, aesthetic, aegis, and paean. - - (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9D6h2ihIrl/?igshid=1ufacb8aa1u0c

Astute - Day 192 #DailyArt - Believe it or not, this one started as a figure piece. - My initial thought this morning as I was walking the dog and kid was to pick up everything I saw on the ground that was a certain shade of light green, wood, or dark/medium blue (based on the first few items I found) and then add them to an old unfinished figure piece. - Well, I did that, and was not very happy with it, so decided to let Chance and gravity take over (see my story for a time lapse). - Acrylic, #foundobjects , #analogcollage , cut up photos, and gravity on paper on board - #TheArtOfEverything⁣ ______________⁣ -⁣ -⁣ -⁣ #dripart #paperart #pouringart #pouringpaint #primer_contemporary #contemporarycollage #pdxartist #allovercomposition #UseWhatsAroundToMakeArt #foundobjectfigure⁣ ⁣ (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B83BsUNByBM/?igshid=173pawtzt9dcs
