The Card Catalog

This is a rapidly growing body of work I started just two months ago. It makes use of a large collection of 3x5 card catalog cards my local library was throwing away. Out of the thousands of cards, I look for book titles that inspire me, make me laugh, or move me in some way. Then I make illustrations and collages on the backs of the cards that show my reactions to the titles. By only using titles of books I've never read, my imagination can invent new books that are all my own. The process allows me to make unconscious connections between words and images and to see possibilities in that which is unknown to me.
