Three separate panels (aka triptych - A triptych (pronounced /ˈtrɪptɪk/ TRIP-tik, from the Greek τρίπτυχο, from tri-"three" + ptychē "fold") is a work of art (usually a panel painting) which is divided into three sections, or three carved panels which are hinged together and folded. It is therefore a type of polyptych, the term for all multi-panel works. The middle panel is typically the largest and it is flanked by two smaller related works, although there are triptyches of equal-sized panels) 30" x 62" - inkjet on canvas

Homage to Vancouver artist Joe Average - and to Granville Island...one of my favourite places.

A number of 'characters' from Joe's work were used in signs on ART DAY at Granville Island - August 4, 2008

After the prose poem - "Blue Movie" by Joe Rosenblatt

the Wedding Party

XIV

by Joe Rosenblatt

The body you think you own is not your own,

is a rented tuxedo where you shine

like nuptial ants inside some pleasure dome

lifting molecules above their mind....

Transporting glitter at your wedding

the self you think you own is your tuxedo

till shadows lower it by parasol

to a beach polluted with tadpoles and panama hats.

This digital collage started out as a picture of poppies growing wild under the skytrain line near New Westminster. I liked the contrast of the orange flowers against the artificial green of the chain link fence.

I added the bumblebees after reading one of Joe Rosenblatt's bee poems...and began a collaboration that spanned about 20 canvases. In some cases I started with one of Joe's poems, and then Joe would encourage me to reverse the process and write a poem based on a visual image.
