Girls Will Talk...

I hope this isn't too inappropriate for the Scrapiteria. I actually toned it down a little....

Please welcome our newest member, Jim Kaufmann!

My interest in collage is recent, surprising, and endlessly pleasurable. I think it began in November when I went to Minneapolis to see Gary Taxali and his paintings at an Ox-Op Gallery opening. That same weekend Minneapolis had Art Attack!, a huge open studio event, and there was just tons of art to absorb. On the way back my wife and I stopped at the SPAM Museum in Austin, MN. Somehow all of this, plus a stalled-out novel, added up to an obsession with making art, most of it collage. It feels like home. As for influences, I like the usual suspects--Hoch, Schwitters, Rauschenberg, Cornell. On the more contemporary side I like Bill Zindel and Jason Sherry.
