Oh World Egg… Hear Me
This is an assemblage I created from great old industrial stop/ start switch box with old wire curling from the top. I painted the cloth covered wire with red, black and white paint. I added weird rusted wires and coils to the work and a little doll hand reaches out of the top. I have added strange text and images from a crumbling remnant of a book that I found on the street. The side has prickly iron thorny pieces I found in a old burnt house. The work stands strongly on its heavy metal coils

This is an assemblage mounted on a 7 inch rusted and aged metal cog. I uses plaster molded doll and a little bird and a chippy painted frame the main focal piece. A jewelry piece hangs from the bottom of the frame. I backed the doll piece with a cool holey round piece of metal. I backed that with a page from a vintage physics book so that the numbers show through I used more text from the book around the metal piece.
