Collage 1

I made the first 6 collages. This one was made 12/28/09. It is from page 10, the first page of "War and Peace". When I began this project, I wasn't all that committed to it. I was between major projects and kind of noodling around with ideas. On this particular piece I used a map from Morocco, text from a religious pamphlet, dictionary and wallpaper from Mark's house where he grew up. The opening paragraph of "War and Peace" starts in French with a discussion about Napoleon. Lynn read in a review that 2% of the book is written in French. -- Lola
