"Get Ready. Get Set."
10" x 8" mixed media sculpture and collage
(wood, ephemera, wire, matchbox, nails, flour sack)
I like this piece.
The other day I started collaging a rectangular scrap of wood and as it went along it started to look a bit like an urban landscape to me. It wasn’t quite big enough on its own so I mounted it on an 8" x 10" canvas and began to play with adding other elements.
I feel like this bird is pausing in thought, ready to take off and fly over the city.
I had fun pouring all those little nails into the painted matchbox. Having it turned upside down makes me tense, and I think fits the overall feeling here.
Roxanne finished her sixth and final week of summer camp today. Next week begins the unstructured part of our summer. I’m thinking plenty of beach days and time spent outside with drippy popsicles.
your work is great! So unique. Just wanted to stop in and say hello – I love the birds…
Yes, I like this one a lot, especially with the orange.
This is your gift! I cannot believe that you can keep coming up with such awesome collages! They are just delightful and inspiring!
my favorite by far. great and appreciated work.
i like this one, i like the way the lettering falls on the birds body and wings.
I really like the use of text on the bird here – your work is so strong and elegantly composed.
