While reorganizing my art collection recently, I took a closer look at three “found object” artworks in display boxes I made over 15 years ago. A lot has changed since then.Thousands of images can be downloaded on the internet, all kinds of unusual objects can be picked up from on-line sources, and there is no shortage of boxes from amazon.com! This was all so tempting, I've taken up artmaking—like Grandma Moses— in my seventies in a series of Collage Story Boxes that I'll be adding in the coming weeks to a new gallery in The Journey in Art section of the John Kohan's Pilgrimage home page entry. I’ve reached a time in life when I need an outlet to share some home truths about the self-absorbed way we live and the vital issues we choose to ignore, so, if you are a bit squeamish about disturbing images or strongly object to mixing “politics” with sacred art, my unedited reflections confined in cardboard are not for you. It will be safe to return to the website the first Sunday in Advent! (John Kohan)
