Assemblage spelling the first words of Picasso's famous statement: "Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth."

Collage of gessoed, burned and varnished papers

Collage of book pages flooded with India ink

Assemblage on a Chinese book page, with various small objects and a box of pastels that belonged to my mother

A barge trip down the Midi Canal was source of the papers in this collage.
