In Progress: Shiny Brite Design Machine

 

This is not a series piece for sale, but instead a piece that I am building for my home.  I have been collecting specific items (stored separately from my source material for other pieces) for about three and a half years and decided that this week would be a good time to build something new for myself.  Being extremely picky about what goes on my walls, I scrutinized and considered each and every element here very closely before committing it to the boards I bought and prepared to house this piece of work.   While there are some other small considerations to make, other small items to be added and a final coat of matte medium to be applied, all items have been affixed to the boards for the most part.

Collage: "Spare A Dime: (2005)

"Spare A Dime" (24 by 36 inches)

Personal Item: 2005 Collage displayed in my home until 2006.

It's currently in storage, but safe.  I had forgotten how much I'd liked this piece until I unwrapped it so it could be photogaphed a few weeks ago.  I'm not sure where (or to whom) it will go next.

We shall see.

Assemblage: Crayon Box

1950s, 1960s & 1970s crayons affixed to a painted stretch canvas.

Another personal assemblage of collected items from 2006 that's displayed in my home.

Button Jar Dartboard

Personal item:  A 2006 decorative assemblage I made for home. 

Found dartboard affixed with buttons from one of my grandmother's button jars as well as window glass and copper-covered moulding pieces from the Asbury Park Casino.

More personal than conceptual, but fun to look at.
