Here is a (mostly) finished mixed media piece featuring my December 2010 poem The King of Marigold. All paper materials were sourced from thrifted 1960s and 1970s science textbooks and indoor decor and plant magazines. I typed the poem with a typewriter, scanned, and reprinted it on several kinds of thrifted paper before settling on this one. I am still toying with the idea of adding some thunderclouds in the background or a frame element to the "window" of the room into which the viewer is peering. This one conjures a vivid memory of lying in the cocoon of my bed in my studio apartment while the world sped past on Speer Boulevard.
