Let's Celebrate! (Housework Can Wait) collage on the right by Kathryn V. White
This year, Cancer Lifeline contacted the Northwest Collage Society (NWCS) about partnering together for an art show.
This collaboration entailed NWCS members volunteering to read short prose and poem pieces by Cancer Lifeline writing class participants and choosing one to create an inspired collage.
The art show, entitled “Read Between The Lines,” was a great success with 42 written pieces to select from and over 30 NWCS members deciding to collaborate.
I chose Judy Slonicker’s “Now” a cheering poem highlighting the beauty of nature and which also validated my proclivity for “letting curiosity take over” and doing what I love instead of housework.
Hence, my collage “Let’s Celebrate! (Housework Can Wait)" includes a huge cupcake, confetti, and vacuum cleaners with the no symbol of red line/red circle over them.
And, of course, because I committed to creating the collage I had one more reason to let my own housework wait!
Don't miss this show at Cancer Lifeline in Seattle, WA. It includes a great diversity of beautiful collage and powerfully written pieces.
The show runs from October 27 to December 16, 2016.
