This is the first piece I have done in the “exquisite corpse” style.

Exquisite Corpse 1 - The numinous twilight gently revealed the tragedies of yesterday.
It’s my first piece in this style, and it’s a delightful challenge both visually and linguistically. The hunt for beautiful words is as fun as the hunt for interesting images.

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.
