Stunning visual poetry from NBS

[Svenja Wahl]

I 've blogged all of her wonderful pages here

As I wrote, Nancy, that's unbelievable!!

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Your words, Cheryl, are poetry. I'm very grateful. You can probably know that your imagined mental picture took place in real life more than once. You just expressed my experience in a way I never could have.

Here is a quote about Baron's works by Michael Brenson of the nytimes from June 1989, as a by-the-way, because it didn't get included in my vispo project materials but it captures her:

"They have nothing to do with the marketplace: for around 30 years hardly anyone saw her work and she did not seem to care. They have nothing to do with spectacle. They have everything to do with a vision of life that could hardly be more tenuous, and they have everything to do with a search for the nightingale's song."

Really glad this came up again.  Fancy Bells, you outdid yourself here.  And thank you Svenja for going to the trouble.  I have the most wonderful image of you laboring in pale afternoon sun over these works Nancy - and sometimes you shape-shift in the uncertain light to Hannelore.  XXX

Thank you Diane, and Katerina for posting those pages--I'm very happy you like them. It may be time to look up the precise definition of fancy. I'll get back to ya if it scares me ... stay tuned.

The fibers embedded in the tissue paper is such an amazing idea these pages are really stunning. Fancy Bell just gets better and better and fancier and fancier

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Just beautiful textures with tissue papers and cords and creating wonderful layers of colors!

Super fine! thank you, Nancy! xxx

Steampunk: I had to look that one up, Diane. And the descriptions and definitions are so long that they're gone from my brain already, but think I noticed somewhere the one that fits ... Vocabulary sure does grow over a little time at IUOMA.

love this! and even though I barely know what it means--it looks steampunk to me. Beautiful Nancy!

After getting home a little while ago I was enjoying reading down the blogs and came to this as a very nice surprise. Thank you so much, Svenja! And your comments are much appreciated, Alicia and Lisa, and Theresa (I will send you a jpeg). Hannelore Baron's work was made known to me by a wonderful artist, Teresa Eaton, with whom I corresponded on Dale Copeland's International Collage list, so I am forever grateful for Teresa's introduction too.

whew Nancy. Striking and beautiful and glory-filled. Moves my soul and psychic.
