This is a look at Gracia and my collaborative collage work, A composition based on the stories collected from old seafarers (II), for MIEL books literary journal 1110/5. Remember that tiny through the keyhole peep? It will be published in April, but you can pre-order a copy through MIEL.
We are thrilled to be a part of 1110/5, and hope that you can see in the works we made that we had a great deal of fun with it.
We made three collage works for MIEL to choose from and were most curious to see which they would run with. Above is A composition based on the stories collected from old seafarers (I) with a Swiss bear carving and a woman preparing to dive or perhaps merely toying with you. (You might recall that we've featured Swiss bears in collages before. Seems particularly sad today having just read about Switzerland's only bear killed by rangers.)

I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. In the meantime, keep an eye out for further peeks and snippets, and head across to Ana Pina's blog today for our interview is up on her blog. We had a lot of fun with this interview, and look forward to reading others in the series.
