RED MONA |
RED MONA, a mixed genre work, emerged from a
Guy de Maupassant story, Petit Soldat. THE CARDS refer directly or
obliquely to that piece, but always the mosaic-like story of Simone de Milo*
seeks an INDEPENDENT IDENTITY. Collages, influenced by fashion, establish a
sub-theme on the seductions of feminine accoutrements. A Sixteenth Century
ILLUMINATED manuscript, Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta, provided an
important INSPIRATION. And not to be underestimated is the coolness I often
associate with formal education (FLASH Cards are one extant example.), which
tends to unleash my more passionate YEARNINGS.
To explore the illuminated manuscript idea, pay a visit to a French library,La Bibliothèque Nationale de France, and in Oxford, England, pop into The Bodleian Library. For an exploration of writing process, see the Artist-Writer Statement.
