government redaction

Cut-paper collage postcard created for Kollage Kit theme "Arts & Crafts" (not the art movement—the activity).

Does this collage strike you as... well... weird? Does it seem different from my usual style (whatever that is)? I hope so.

I have Josephine, one of the crew on the Kollage Kit, to thank for this. She commented that the combination of a background grid pattern, and paranoia about what the government is up to (endemic in the U.S. right now, for sure), seemed to work well in my "they're watching us" collage. So I did it again: background grid, weird blues, paranoia about the government.

And thanks to Ron, too, for suggesting a theme that gets me out of my usual neatnik O-C sort of style. As Rainer Maria Rilke so memorably put it,"Du mußt dein Leben ändern." ("You must change your life.") Sometimes, in order for change to happen, things have to get messy during the transition. =laugh=
