During the past winter season, I joined a collaborative effort called
Disintegration, spearheaded by Seth Apter of The Altered Page. Little did I know back then what a huge collaboration it would turn out to be. Today, August 1, is the day for the "big reveal" where everyone shows the artwork created by a bundle they placed outside all winter to witness its disintegration. You can see my bundles
here and
here.
I decided to make a collage using an image of a rose from my Mother's Day bouquet. After the roses had dried a bit, they were still beautiful. I made digital monoprints on japanese washi paper and Arches 88 paper, and paired them with the weathered pages from the disintegration project. Both parts of this art piece seemed destined for each other.
The project itself had over 100 participants. I'm thinking of items I can weather outdoors again this winter and maybe this will become an annual experiment!

the monoprinting is fabulous on the weathered paper, great job.
Oh, I do love how the text is visible through the picture of the rose. Very beautiful!
You must be really pleased with this - it's great. Love the rose - who can resist a rose?
Great idea to use the rose. I, too, am thinking about what to bundle next. so many ideas....
Such a beautiful finished piece!!
This is a very lovely way to finish off your Disco bundle! Great technique you have.
So lovely and unexpected!
nice resolution, pretty texture in this piece
What super work, I love how you've made the rose.
Very interesting work. I appreciate the technical details you provided. not that I really know what those are, but the effect was good.
i think it is beautiful christine
I think this rose looks so soft and delicate, it seems fitting that it found it's home on a piece that's been in collaboration with MN!
