a personal geography...

Here's a piece that came together so easily... it actually took on a life of it's own...
inspired by the book "Personal Geographies" by Jill Berry...I call it Jubilee...
14 x 14 x 1 wood box - spray painted with stencils
the beginnings of the many layers that made up the finished product
I hand cut my own stamps. The window and door are stamped on hand wipes which I find adds an interesting texture.
layer by layer
bit by bit...
my story unfolds...
here, there and everywhere...

The finished product is a combination of elements...symbolizing my varied and full life.
here it is...said and done...
The only thing that makes one an artist is making art. And that requires the precise opposite of hanging out;
a deeply lonely and unglamorous task of tolerating oneself long enough to push something out.
