protection

This was a show I had at Stardust in March of 2013. They are portraits of just some of animals who need our protection from the abuses that are too common in our world. Most of the humans are symbolic or amalgamations of stories I have heard or read, though there are a few portraits of members of the Animal Liberations Front, which are actual rescues.

things about color


rust, picture frame, metal container, label, glitter, school work report

One afternoon In 2010 I got out a bunch of stuff to do some art with the girls and held a pair of scissors against a piece of wood from a chair and was spun off for the next couple of months into a complete obsession with putting various objects together. This is not my usual way or usual medium but something clicked and I was completely taken in to making these pieces. It is probably the most fun I've ever had making art. I had no thoughts about what to do; it was all simply made from intuition. I have only found a very few photos, those that didn't sell. I am going to look for more pictures, and will post if I find them.
