Touri, you're making me blush here! Thank you. I notice you live in Santa Fe, maybe you should come down to ABQ for one of the collage get-togethers that happen every month.
Most interesting and inspiring post so far - there are some real gems here! Your statement "However, there are a number of different strands running through my body of work and many of them are mutually exclusive. On the other hand, there tend to be a number of elements held in common by the vast majority of my works". This statement explains why discourse about the work adds value for those who view it.
What can I say, I am one of your biggest fans. I love your work and am learning so much from you.
Thank you,
Touri Strick

Thank you! And I was trying so hard not to say anything.
I appreciate the framing around spiritual discipline — there’s an element of that in my own collage practice, but I hadn’t articulated it before. 🙏
Yes, as an artist it is tough to put things in words that don't have words, that is why we are artists I guess.
