Multiples of Monoprints

In preparing for our Sense of Place workshop in San Francisco tomorrow, I’ve been going through all my potential “items for collage.” I came across some monoprints I did in 2001 or 2002; lots of dark renditions of Grendel sneaking up on feasting vikings, I now see. (I was reading Seamus Heaney’s translation of Beowulf at the time.) Lots of abstract monoprints also—I scanned some today and printed them to use as possible book covers.

Since I don’t know what exactly we’ll be doing, it’s hard to plan what to bring. I’m bringing far too much.

In baseball news, the first game of the World Series was won by the Red Sox tonight, but they are clearly not going to make it easy on themselves (or us). They blew an early 7-2 lead and the game was tied at 9 going into the ninth inning. Mark Bellhorn’s two-run homer took care of business, but this is cutting it way too fine (and running through an entire pitching staff every game).
