Orifice

Le silence rend plus sombre cette ombre sur mon corps,
le corps qui gît là bas n’est fait que de lumière,
le vent arrache mes mains et les cloue au poteau,
muettement je glisse dans   more...mes habits de nuit.

Dans cette obscurité je ne distingue pas mon ombre
le sang de mes blessures peint le miroir en rouge
la langue qui lèche mon visage l’y efface
et mon œil qui y voit mon rêve mort s’y crève.

Mon cerveau s’est creusé d’un orifice de chair,
l’épiderme des yeux n’est sensible qu’aux brûlures
de cette image qui creuse cet horizon en moi
il ne reste enfin que les brûlures de franges.

Take it as you see it, its experimental and my own art vision of a regular person making breakfast.

This is a short film that uses the Confession of Faith song 'Caliban' from the fall 1999 COF album 'StillBorn' made by Mitch Lusas, Jason Richards and Norm Mintle in 2007. The film is a great look at   more...pressure and control and who holds the button of power.  less

The making of the Madonna & Child Or Re-parenting My Inner Child, Series 3. A film by Mary Bogdan.

And so, over a span of a few weeks, and many different stages, this work revealed itself to me,
through   more...its many transitions and transformations, to its ultimate… transcendence.

Here's an article I wrote for the Mixed Media Blog:</b> <a href="http://mixedmedia.us/mbogdan/collage/the-making-of-madonna-child-or-re-parenting-my-inner-child-series-3-by-mary-bogdan/" target="_blank">see the blog</a>. It's a great place to learn about and discover what's new with mixed media.

I wanted to write a bit about my process in creating the 13 pieces, called “Madonna &amp; Child OR Re-parenting My Inner Child”, series #3, which were meant to be sent to the <a href="http://virtual.tart.co.nz" target="_blank">9th International Collage Exhibition and Exchange in New Zealand</a>. Upon completion of the series, I had some reservations about sending them. The point of the exchange is for artists from all over the world to exhibit and exchange works with one another, which would have meant that my pieces would be gone from me forever. I am not one for letting my art go too easily, if at all. But that is fodder for yet another article. I gathered all my internal strength and decided to send the works, only to discover that due to strict New Zealand laws about the importing of plant and organic materials (in order to protect their own plant life), my works would be stopped at the customs entry point because I used dried leaves, parsley, twigs, hibiscus bloom, etc., in many of my collages. “Fair enough”, I thought, as I jumped for joy (on the inside). I cannot send them, so I’ll just have to keep them, and try again next year with a different series and without the plant material.

Here are a few thoughts about how I went about conceiving and creating this series of thirteen.

I originally started with a very large image (see above), measuring approx. 70 inches x 17 inches, which I composed in Photoshop, in several layers. This would divide up into the images needed for the thirteen collages. I combined the digital art images from the Madonna &amp; Child Or Re-parenting My Inner Child, series no 1 and series no 2, which I had made earlier and which had just been on exhibit at Arts Sutton, Québec.

The next step was to print out this very large digital art creation on archival watercolor paper, then, cut them down to size, all 10 inches x 8.5 inches. Now, I had thirteen separate pieces to have fun with, (not that the previous step wasn’t fun). I took them to my studio and after laying them all out, started the collage work. At first, I intuitively felt that they all needed a pouch or envelope of some sort, with other smaller objects inside of them. I proceeded to scrounge around my studio for appropriate objects. Please remember that I am a great gleaner, and have hundreds, if not thousands of items that I’ve collected over the years. And so I used a few of them: little bits of paper, plastic pouches, an old american express credit card, valentines heart doily, stamped envelopes, my husbands old driver’s license, parking receipt stubs, rotary club membership card, bubble gum wrapper, tea bag wrapper, museum entry ticket, human hair (my own), doctor’s prescription slip, twigs and leaves, Hershey’s chocolate bar wrapper, wine bottle foil wrapper, ribbon, laundry tags, coupon slips, and more. Then came the more irreverent objects. The pages torn from the bible, Hebrew scriptures, dictionary, poetry books… All items that have come into my life, and were collected over many years. All rich with symbolism and meaning.

I painted and glued these items over the original digital art printouts, and together the two (old and the new) worlds collided to form a rich, full world of their own.

After completing all thirteen collages in one, very long, sitting, I left them alone in my studio. When I returned a few days later, I saw that they had drie  less

Spontaneous poem in french by Ivan de Monbrison during his show in Paris

Afraid or not, we all dream. This is the mistake we make.

A video of my art work.

The short film about what one man likes to do when he is alone. Oh and watch the lasagna go boom.

The significance of the work lies in the creative process as well as in the final piece itself. It involves recycling, recovery, manipulation, and the alteration of “found” objects. My works are a personal   more...vision of self-discovery and a recognition of continual reinvention. It is the shaping of the self through the creation of art and the development of the art through self construction. Like my personal journey, the “found” objects are brought to life and also transformed. This ongoing and evolving cycle is the essence of my work.  less

A college project from 1981 at Trinity university in San Antonio, Texas. Film 1 was an easy course for me because it was taught in Super-8 and I had more... my own equipment. This was to be a longer   more...project, but it was the end of the semester and I didn't have time to film the rest of the story. As it stands the short works quite well with the one main punchline gag. Yeah, I got an A. The Plot: Our heroes, Honcho and Stinkbug, spend the day at an art museum, and Stinkbug installs his own exhibit in his favorite medium.

This li'l film has a lot of sentimental value to me as well, because it was kind of a kitchen sink for a lot of things I was making at the time. Many of the strange objects are stuff I made in sculpture class, photographs of paintings from painting class (Honcho looks at my self-portrait when he first enters the museum), various strange litle gifts I had gotten during that time, and doo-dads I liked to collect for such experimental projects.  less

I'm requesting video responses in slide show format of pictures which you feel show you at your best. They can be current or older pictures. Also If you have any unusual or funny pictures of yourself,   more...you can include them too if you want to. Put them in slideshow format. You can introduce them yourself, or you can include text either on or before the pictures telling any pertinent facts you want to tell about them. Or you can simply show the pictures with no explanation at all. Or if you have any pictures of yourself which have some special significance to you, then feel free to include them as well.  less
