The Metropolitan Museum of Art Engagement Book has been my calendar of choice as long as I can remember. However, since 2009, I've taken to adding collage elements to the reproduction on each weekly page. Items selected come from a variety of sources: brochures or postcards from exhibits or events attended, articles of personal interest from newspapers and periodicals, current art projects, photos taken on city streets, or whatever quirky item that crosses my path. The only criterion for me is that these elements be acquired, created or found during the corresponding week, making each collage, in essence, a visual diary. Below are a few excerpts from these pages.
