Picking up the love theme (Kewpie, Cupid god of love), the Kewpie floats in a field of love, with his left foot floating just over the word elevation. Dropping 2 letters from "elevation" you have the word "elation". This piece gives me the feeling of elation.
I've looked at these Kewpie pieces a number of times now, and one of the things that makes them work so well for me is the "natural" materials of the wood boxes, print on paper, and encaustic pigments -- next to the "artificial" plastic doll. They are each dragging/attracting the other elements into their own realm, and this is quite dynamic.
Welcome!
For now, this blog serves as a partial history and portfolio of my work. You can scroll down to look back into the archives to see my wide range of creative expression, which includes installation art, encaustic (wax) painting and assemblages. The colors and symbols of childhood are common in my work. Some works feature vintage storybook pages, game pieces and toys while others are more organic in nature. Thank you for stopping by.
