		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got to confess a real enjoyment of sepia-toned, shadow-suffused and steam-filled imagery of the Victorian period. There&#8217;s a rich mystery locked up in the works of the period &#8211; from the early greats like Mary Shelley, Jules Verne, and HG Wells to contemporary conjurers like China Mieville, William Gibson, and possibly even Neal Stephenson [...]]]></description>

I then took the dried mixedmedia work, sanded it up a bit, and wrapped in an arresting detail/section from a magazine cover. I composed little packages of collage items [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;d gotten the basic idea from the remarkable Victoria Romanoff in Ithaca, New York at a meet up we&#8217;d had years ago.This go around, I&#8217;d found a couple of pricier washboards with glass rubbing plates.

Layers of color like lacquer, applied carefully and used sculpturally &#8211; paper, cloth, plaster, tape, paint, wire &#8211; you name it, its there. Its also deliciously abstract &#8211; a lollipop that fell onto a sprinkles-covered ice [...]]]></description>
