new art

[anonymousblack]

so as it turns out, i've been gravitating toward sculpture, something i never thought would happen: i've always been a creature of the paper arts.

this piece evolved from my cathartic box mangling incident on friday. the link below the picture will take you to more shots--and also pictures of the curio box i recently sanded/stained and arranged for our coffee table (that's not so much art as a warm-up exercise, but since most of my projects seem to be shrines, i see fit to include it in that flickr set.) the link on the picture will take you to my flickr account, if you haven't seen it.

there seems to be an initiatory & healing element to this process, which is significantly more of a surprise for me than it probably is for you.

it looks like it's hiding a secret, and the stain is gorgeous.

thank you. i see secrets, i see knotholes for owls, and, of course, i see a baby crowning.

the stain is mostly "colonial maple." it's the same color as what ended up on the curio box, actually, that you can also see in that set--they look dramatically different in person, though, must be the wood. there's also some "deep mahogany" in there, to pronounce details.
