New Year's Eve found me freezing in the high desert. During the day I hiked, pretending not to notice the ice on the trails or the biting wind. I'm not a native Californian, I told myself, I'm made of tougher stuff. This doesn't bother me.

During New Year's Eve and Jan. 1, I made 13 new collages for the exhibit in New Zealand in March. Being in a ( Read more... )
