This is my sixteenth piece in this series.
Exquisite Corpse 16 - Her improvised wings greatly broadened her meager opportunities.
If you saw this piece and started vaguely recalling a tv series from the 1960s featuring Sally Field, then you are of “a certain age.”
I was inspired a bit by a nun I met when I was doing motion picture work back in the 1980s in Pittsburgh. We were shooting in a convent there, and a nun was telling me that in the time and place she grew up, girls had only two options: to marry and raise a bunch of children, or to become a nun. So, if you wanted to see the world and do something different with your life, you became a nun.
Who knew the nuns were the ones having the most fun?
Exquisite Corpse Art
Exquisite Corpse was a game wherein a collection of words or images are assembled. In the original version, a paper was folded into three parts with one person contributing a head, the second a body, and the third legs and feet, all without the benefit of seeing what the person before had contributed. In a similar version, a sentence would be formed through a strict series of words; for example: The adjective noun adverb verb the adjective noun. This series follows along with that idea a bit.
