OtherWorld

Mosaic Gallery art in my shop tomorrow!

Clemente (31 x 17 x 17”) is constructed with wood, wire, papier-mache, clay, pages from an antique Gustave Dore book of etchings, hand-dyed linen and natural fibers.

Hello friends!

I hope you are all having a nice start to the dreaded warm and sunny season! I will be over here, fanning myself, hiding under a tree.

OtherWorld

I recently made a collection of art to fill the windows of the Mosaic Gallery, in my hometown North Adams, MA. I loved having the opportunity to fill such a large, light space and having the work seen by friends and neighbors on their way to work or grabbing a bagel. Playing with scale was the best part- I rarely make large things, so this was really fun. When I first got word that I was chosen, I sat down and started scribbling images of what I wanted the overall look to be…

Basically, I wanted to create the large creatures that live in my brain that never have a chance to get out. And that’s basically what I did.

(Installing the show)

Stephen (28 x 20 x 10”) is made with wood, papier-mache, clay and linen.

Giselle (22x 12 x 7”) is created with papier-mache, clay, fabric and some really cool branches that I found.

Rosamunde, Anatomica (21 x 9 x 7”) She is made of papier-mache and clay, and her final layer is created with pages from an antique illustrated medical dictionary.

Henry (21 x12 x 13”) Henry is made with papier-mache and linen. He has a little message sewn into his jaunty striped shirt in case he gets lost on the way home from school.

Jools (21 x 10 x 12”) Jools is made with papier-mache and linen.

Quickly, my living space began to fill up with kind creatures… and other things.

The Friendly Hand of Demons (21 x 8 x 4”) was carved from wood.

The Nocturnal Theatre (25 x 18 x 9”), the theatre is constructed from wood and the puppets are carved from wood. The hands are made with clay.

Lots of Good, Wooden Friends

So Many Medium-Sized and Smaller Friends Whom I Love.

To get a closer look at all these folks, you can head over to my website.
