Dreaming of Sky Pines by Moira McLaughlin (work in progress), 2011
My May collage of my Longhaired Dachshund Darby is coming along. It's inspired by a walk I took with him on a rural neighborhood road called Sky Pines. We saw all of these animals and birds (the great blue heron flew right over us like a pterodactyl) and more, and had no idea how I was going to fit them all in. That night, Darby was twitching and barking in his sleep, and I thought perhaps he was dreaming of his walk. That was my solution. Make it like a dream, like a Hieronymus Bosch. I'm going to put Darby on the back of the heron like Europa on the back of Zeus disguised as a Bull.
