The Mother Ship has Recently Capsized.
I used an old steam pressure gauge from the steam age era. It has a broken glass face and wonderful coloring. I added vintage hinges to create the body and embellish with a Victorian spoon handle. I found the odd text in a 1920 magazine article about ships. Seemed fitting somehow…. another fictional relic.
I wonder about the pieces who once were important and maybe even vital to a long ago people who eventually abandoned them to a newer technology and the objects that ended upon the debris pile of history which now is our world..

Their Feet Shall Manifest
Their Feet Shall Manifest
This is an assemblage made with many pieces of found metal such as a old drawer pull, a pair rusted scissors, old key , a tiny copper foot and other vintage embellishments . I joined them all together to create an evocative fictional relic. It is 6 inches tall and 4 inches across. I used odd pieces of text from an old latin book to create the wording. The piece has wire on the back to easily display the work. It also has a poem on the back. I try to make the back of my pieces as interesting as the front
Voice
She Hears a Voice
With
No Language
But a Dream
This is an assemblage made with many pieces of found metal such as a old door hinge, a rusted spring, cogs , a burnt tin, a really old token of a tiny ram / sheep on a piece of old velvet upholstery cloth. I joined them all together to create an evocative fictional relic. It is 7 inches tall and 4.5 inches across. I used a little round piece for a portal window and added the misty face behind a piece of mica. I used odd pieces of text from an old book to create the wording. The piece has a hole in the back to easily display the work. It also has a secret poem on the back. I try to make the back of my pieces as interesting as the front.
