BTO/OSN ("Boston")

12"x12" Mixed media on canvas

When my twins were 3 years old, they’d get hold of post-it pads and scribble all over them….leaving little heaps.  I came across these little treasures (below) after they had spent some time copying city names onto a pad. Inspired by the patterns of the mixed up/merged letters as well as the fun of figuring out the city name, I’m working on a series of collage/paintings using this “technique” of which BTO/OSN (“Boston”) is the first.

City Names (below):  “Paris”, “Instanbul”, “Budapest”, “Boston”
