On the left: scraps received, on the right and below: drafts no. 1 – 4!
My first attempts at the collage for Brown Paper Bag’s Collage Scrap Exchange. Is it allowed to create something that looks like a little puppet theatre? If not, it will end up into a one dimensional artwork like draft no.2! Anyway, I am having fun moving the pieces around.
On another note; I don’t know if you have heard about what is going on in Quebec right now (student protests and Bill 78), but here is an absolutely beautiful video that captures the spirit of a movement called Les casseroles. It started just after the passing of Bill 78.

Mes premiers essais pour le collage organisé par Brown Paper Bag. Est-ce permis de jouer ainsi avec la dimensionnalité? Sinon, ça finira en un montage unidimensionnel à la façon de l’essai no 2… D’une façon ou d’une autre, je m’amuse à bouger les pièces!
Sur une autre note; je ne sais si vous avez entendu parler de ce qui se passe actuellement au Québec (grève étudiante et loi spéciale 78) mais voici une superbe vidéo qui capture l’esprit du Mouvement des casseroles (voir la vidéo plus haut), mouvement qui prend de l’ampleur depuis l’adoption de la loi 78.
We cannot watch videos on the net. It has been blocked due to court orders :-/
This collage scrap exchange reminds me a lot of the Redbook project I did with a friend long ago where we stuck things in diaries and exchanged them. It is such fun to do, maybe I will resume it and finish the last few pages. I want to after seeing these pictures.
What??? I was curious to find out on what grounds this could have happened and it seems that Vimeo and Daily Motions were blocked in your country because some movies were illegally uploaded? Wow, they did not to employ half-measures!
There is a workaround for Vimeo: http://www.labnol.org/india/watch-vimeo-videos-in-india/21343/.
Will we see your Redbook project on your blog???
Yes. We were told it is because of copyright issues. People are always getting over-sensitive about some issue or the other over here. It looks like they don’t have much to do :-/
But I am thrilled with link to get round it! THANKS :-)) I’m posting it on Facebook!
The Redbook Project is in my old blog. But here is the link to the pages from my Redbook :

pRiyA, your red book is simply beautiful and inspiring!
Vimeo is back. I just saw Les Casseroles. (je viens de voir les casseroles ;-)) It is beautiful. It is also so nice to see Montrealers. They seem such a chilled out crowd of people.
