In this collage, I'm remembering a trip taken to Chicago, Illinois and Rochester, Indiana with my then 93 year old father E.A. Autrey. Two of his many self portraits are in the car. Another metaphor for the ups and downs of life, for me, is the mobile and/or balance, made famous by Alexander Calder and, to come extent, Paul Klee. In my mobile, one can find the cows jumping over a blue moon, a star ball, some random insects, flowers and stars. There are also some hearts and a photo of me by E.A. Autrey, which I later doctored up. I'm experimenting with paper die cuts, combined with a variety of other papers which is a lot of fun. Who knows where this journey will take me next!
