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.

This is beautiful --- a box painted with treasured secrets, all in layers like our lives. Your work is so inspiriting!
I like this piece a lot - there are so many layers. It looks like a life - beautiful job.
I just don't know how you do it. That is lovely.

These are beautiful. Your talents and skills never cease to amaze me.
Gorgeous! It's very rich, detailed and balanced. Thank you for sharing your creative process with us! :-)
My personal geographies would be the coal regions of Northeast PA. where I'd lived most of my life.
Very nice, Angela. With so much detail, it's interesting to try and decipher meanings. I suppose those who know you well will understand most of the imagery. For me, I can only guess at most, although the English connection and SOM imagery are understood. A nice concept and well executed!
A beautiful piece. By the way a very big happy birthday, this is a special one!
