Collage Tennis

Will invited me to a round of collage tennis, an art exercise I do not think I have ever tried before.  The rules were thus

• There are two Field Notes journals: one for collage, one for explanation
• On your turn, you have two weeks react to the previous collage
• In the collage journal, make a collage using elements or reacting elements in the previous collage
• In the explanations journal, write a short explanation behind your thought process

I kicked us off with The Threat of Unintelligence

Hell Smells Like Hot Almond Milk

This is another good example of my process when I am low on time and ideas.  I drew myself wearing goggles.  Then I added the mask, and asked myself, "why?"  Why would I wear protective gear?  Maybe I am holding something dangerous?  I am well known for disliking everything.  What distaste of mine can justify goggles and a dust mask?  I went with almond milk, which I really discovered smells terrible steamed, and is generally detested by my team.  A few of us like it cold, but we can not support it as a latte.  I drew each panel once, because of poor time budgeting.  There you go.  If you write or draw or paint... however you create, do more than nothing.  It is harder to shape nothing than something.  Get something in front of you, and get to work.
