The Pattern Grows More Intricate

Another assemblage made with found objects. The text is from a Rilke poem:

The pattern grows more intricate and subtle and being swept along is no longer enough.

Significance of numbers

And There Are Some Who Dream of the Significance of Numbers
This is from my new series of Fictional Relics. I used found metal pieces and old photos and odd pieces of found text such as the title to create these pieces.
This piece is built on a 8 inch metal round gear. I added numbers of various and letters types , rusty cogs, and other pieces to create the work. I love the photograph of the odd little child who loks to be dreaming of numbers! It has the feel of something that may have been salvaged from an old ship wreck.

The Traveler

Forgotten Child

Forgotten Child

This is an assemblage from my lost children series. I created this one made with many pieces of found and salvaged metal such as an old metal box, a rusty round cog, a door piece with the above title on it, an old tool handle and a door lock slide that still functions.
On top is a vintage metal hinge with wonderful painted and metal texture, this also created easy display with the hole on the top. A little lost child peers out of the port hole created by the cog. I used a bluish background cut from a 1927 book on ocean life for the background and added paint and glazes to give it a dreamy ocean look. It has a lot more detail than shows in the picture.
I joined them all together to create an evocative fictional relic. It is 11 inches tall and 5 inches across. I used pieces of text from an old book to create the wording: Forgotten Child.

Land Of Dreams

To Lie Before Us Like a Land Of Dreams
This is from my new series of Fictional Relics. I used found metal pieces and old photos and odd pieces of found text such as the title to create these pieces.

This piece is built on a 8 inch metal round gear. I added vintage scissors, cogs, metal handles and other pieces to create the work. It has the feel of something that may have been salvaged from an old ship wreck. I have been creating assemblages for years and continue to enjoy the medium as my art evolves.

May It Be
This is from my new series of Fictional Relics. I used found metal pieces and old photos and odd pieces of found text, such as the title, to create these pieces.
This piece is built on a 7 by 11 inch vintage metal tray with a handmade wooden scaffold backing. I added an altered fork, jewelry piece, a hand sculpted Buddha face, cogs, and other pieces to create the work. It looks like a relic from a Buddhist Monastery. I have been creating assemblages for years and continue to enjoy the medium as my art evolves.
It has a hanger on the back for easy display.
