142 " x 107" Collage, shellac, ink, oil paint, photo-copies, offset on glassine and on book pages

A panoramic collage,* the series refers to the Gregorian calendar, but my calendar is not seasonal.  It is a progression of days that clump into (monthesques) and advance through a spectrum of colors.  In each grouping, imagery combines into visual constellations with recurrent images acting as refrains.

Each month/monthesque, is named for a common object. The days' names are common actions. If one was to use this system in speech it would sound like…Paying the 2nd of Chair   or Getting the 14th of Spoon.

Months:

1.Chair;  2.Plane;  3.TV;  4.Spoon;  5.Table;  6.Car;  7.Hall;  8.Heater;  9.Boat; 10.Refrigerator;  11.Pants; 12.Bed.

Days:  Paying; Watching; Filling; Putting; Getting; Moving and Laying;

Materials:*

It is important to me that I am not adding many more things to the world. Each page has existed in a book, I overlay and reconfigure them, very much as an editor might have done before me.
