Noor-un-Nisa Touchon working on a collage

We took a week off to take a trip out to San Francisco during Noor-un-Nisa's spring break. It was a very fast moving week with little time to relax, it seemed we were always on the go. The evening before we returned, an evening of collage making was arranged at Gustavo Ramos Rivera's studio who, earlier in the day had lunch with Lawrence Ferlinghetti.

I had the very good fortune to meet some great collage artists. Matt, Larry and Karen  presented me with a number of collages of theirs for the museum collection and Matt also donated a collage by Theophilus Brown.

I'll post these once I photograph them...
