FW: Retta - 24 Mixed Media Experiments

Subject: Retta - 24 Mixed Media Experiments


The Windows Movie Maker file of my 24 .mixedmediafredin .WMV format did not
go through the blogspot.com software. I've posted it online at--
http://www.rettarobbins.com/Retta-24-Experiments.wmv

In order to keep the file size down, the play time for individual images is
short. You can pause the video to view any image longer.

Here is a link that explains how to view .WMV files on a Mac.

there are many that I am compelled to revisit = the first one in the seqquence, the one with the starry freckles floating in front of the face... classical, expressive, refined. I can't wait to see these in person!

A brilliant glossary of concept and techniques, Retta. The torn image of the SOL over the Capitol is particularly thoughtful. Look forward to seeing them on Tues. Betsy

The green Statue of Liberty face with the yellow stars and the sun in the corner is the most interesting to me. It is very solid and bold.
