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.

I love it! I also liked the anatomy lesson comment on one of the last pics, as that was already going through my mind while looking at the pictures.

I lovelovelove everything about it, J. It's as if Georgia O'Keefe spent the summer hiking, picking up pebbles and shells, and then made a box for her treasures.

I really like that, especially when I saw the scale of it. And I really want a nice shadow box, that's beautiful.

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