The Vienna Wig-Swap (Vienna)
He said, "Could you make one of those miniature landscapes you do for each of the places we've been to on our Polaroid journey? For Enschede, Vienna, New York and Arles? Something that symbolises the place and commemorates your visit on Polaroid?"
"Sounds fun," I said.
But then he said, "Great. Can you do them by Friday morning, please?"
I gulped.
Normally, for just one of these little landscapes, it takes me at least a week to gather the elements and set everything up. I wasn't sure I could do four of these things with just one week to work in. I have been doing my best and I am making good progress, but I now only have less than one day - or rather night - to go. Wish me luck.
This one was for Vienna.

Tip:
Apart from my head, which was from a Polaroid, all of this is made up of snipped-up bits of oil paintings which I taped together at the angles I liked and then positioned at different distances from the lens.
To make the Pola-in-Pola (which I made first, of course), I printed out some of the same oil painting bits but horizontally reversed so that I could give Mozart and me different poses on our wig-swapping Polaroid and also to get our wigs on the right way around, (so I used Photoshop for the horizontal reversal part). Then I scanned the resultant integral Pola and printed it out small so it would fit in my mini-me's hand.
