Assemblage

"Assemblage" is the 3-D version of "collage”. "Found object fragments," "discards," or "throwaways" (artist's work to look at: Schwitters, Cornell, Rauschenberg, Bearden, etc.).


These things are organized by their specific elements. The resulting groups are then arranged into compositions of art.


Extending to many cultures of people living in family, religious, work, and various other groups; We could be viewed as a complex living version of "assemblage”(Webster 1. a group of persons or things gathered or collected).


We have “found” each other by chance; either by blood, common goals, or a certain chemistry. These connections help to formulate new ideas, innovations, and even new generations. John Anderson

Our July 10, 2017 Road Trip


                      Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens -

“The Arboretum is the largest in the United States staffed entirely by volunteers.”

“...include[s] what is claimed to be the largest public hosta garden in the United States (13000 plants representing over 700 varieties).” Wikipedia

This trip provided inspiration for some needed changes in our home garden (80% weeding, 10% new plants, 10% Architectural Structure upgrades and repairs)( timeline: ongoing)
