I keep churning out Sam Parr collages, 2 on Friday (samparr 06/07) and another rough draft yesterday (samparr 08). I don’t anticipate this going beyond 10 or 11 collages, however, but of course could be wrong. It’s not going to go on and on like the Falmouth series from early this year I don’t believe. Is it? I don’t think I have the energy for another one of those. It greatly surprised me that another collage series surfaced so soon after what I would consider the massive Falmouth effort. Between the 2 Carrcass-11 also formed, although I haven’t been able to “fix* it yet (tape it, in essence). And a Carrcass-12 could even be on the horizon. And also between Falmouth and Sam Parr was created Collagesity itself, first in an intense psychic battle between Noru and Rubi (Noru winning, of course) basically ending in the formation of the new virtual town, and then the further development of the town itself, first focusing on Westside and now Southside and its Sam Parr State College. Westside was essentially sacrificed for Southside. The core of the town remains mostly the same, built around the central Falmouth, Toxic Art and Power Tower galleries. What place does the brand new Sam Parr series and the harbouring Sam Parr State Park College have here? It is a question to keep asking. It’s something new.
