This year I worked in collaboration with my fourteen-year-old grandson, Sam. We began with remnants from a newly installed fence, the posts from an old fence, an old iron hoop (used for storing wood), some odd found items including an antique garden pick-hoe, a collection of keys, some vintage Erector set parts, and a rusty railroad pick. Then I told Sam our project could be "anything you want it to be" and this became the title of our work. I let him take the lead (he created all of the essential elements while I advised and wired the wood around the hoop) and initially he said that the hoop would make a good dream catcher but as he moved things around he made a wonderful eagle-like bird which became our centerpiece and kept a strong Native American influence.<br />

We never saw and couldn't make the fish spin like that again and we don't know anyone who smokes.<br />

Each visitor is invited to discover through interaction how to create their own sound. There are no predictable notes. To make the chimes ring, gently push the pipes back with your fingers or softly strike them with the provided sticks.</span></span></div>

It gives her an other-worldly feeling, more like a Tim Burton movie than Disney's Cinderella. My second installation, "American Dream" is an iconic "Home Sweet Home" sign made from quilted coin wrappers and burlap is pictured at the bottom of the page. It too changes from it's overall feeling of old-time front porch charm into a more Burton-like feel at night. I hope to post daylight photos and more info about that installation in a future post.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;">Hauntingly beautiful.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX1vUw2QnoRad5dlK1SadYtOkaMB7Rqe-WxpLI_C-dIPUUpbjSXNMGGiP5N0SHeeapiEKib9IaVQvmwLV4bINF0rxnSPj4KThbaUGnCE9_N-WiQFhJEKFErnEIFhPu44nen8zgHXDKX1do/s1600/momdress2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><br /></span></a></span><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX1vUw2QnoRad5dlK1SadYtOkaMB7Rqe-WxpLI_C-dIPUUpbjSXNMGGiP5N0SHeeapiEKib9IaVQvmwLV4bINF0rxnSPj4KThbaUGnCE9_N-WiQFhJEKFErnEIFhPu44nen8zgHXDKX1do/s1600/momdress2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX1vUw2QnoRad5dlK1SadYtOkaMB7Rqe-WxpLI_C-dIPUUpbjSXNMGGiP5N0SHeeapiEKib9IaVQvmwLV4bINF0rxnSPj4KThbaUGnCE9_N-WiQFhJEKFErnEIFhPu44nen8zgHXDKX1do/s400/momdress2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632630731003329698" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">photo: Alissa Mead</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I can almost feel the flowers waking at her feet, beginning to grow and bloom in vines around her.

This has created a magical environment with plenty of birdsong and flying back and forth which was what I had hoped for! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsDjOqGIA4haG0iEOZTZ_3wwERo5BwBRR_RCx3tRL23k6_HrhcrFy3S2WXK7Fg00zQ_ps2qoK8ESoIMCBu8BBhTMmBkmiIijirDnAafAcj_IaLsQHAIoqm_w5w9kAMYil_ZxvK-TVb6-Uo/s400/Perfect+Fairytale-garden.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631628389709348546" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBoMzvKBtN6VG-3vjY9nTMmXcNsfVDCNpNqxjfX1Gm13iXsheqUif9WHMSijsqJb1SDC30qj4jhXAkJZxs5Q7zroFvpFPkqoYhLfHYfuVjjuLp14P6sHZuTBg5mIE-RJ_TAlQYqzLE-s8r/s400/Perfect+Fairytale+dress.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631628405014349010" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0JKC92Dq_zUFM5Lc2uYi6KOsh3sY8iVQd5dw8SFUX0wLmWrHolfEa741z405THfRbG0OdgUjPSppVvLb_QcYwGHgLYijnk62JM8em0QDFnKNUB1ErY0iCiMmpAYGMZs8e4WY8l_SCV055/s1600/Perfect+Fairytale+birdhouse%253Abath.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0JKC92Dq_zUFM5Lc2uYi6KOsh3sY8iVQd5dw8SFUX0wLmWrHolfEa741z405THfRbG0OdgUjPSppVvLb_QcYwGHgLYijnk62JM8em0QDFnKNUB1ErY0iCiMmpAYGMZs8e4WY8l_SCV055/s400/Perfect+Fairytale+birdhouse%253Abath.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631628627618087602" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">all photos Priscilla Herrington</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBoMzvKBtN6VG-3vjY9nTMmXcNsfVDCNpNqxjfX1Gm13iXsheqUif9WHMSijsqJb1SDC30qj4jhXAkJZxs5Q7zroFvpFPkqoYhLfHYfuVjjuLp14P6sHZuTBg5mIE-RJ_TAlQYqzLE-s8r/s1600/Perfect+Fairytale+dress.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><div style="text-align: center;">A few more details to come!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsDjOqGIA4haG0iEOZTZ_3wwERo5BwBRR_RCx3tRL23k6_HrhcrFy3S2WXK7Fg00zQ_ps2qoK8ESoIMCBu8BBhTMmBkmiIijirDnAafAcj_IaLsQHAIoqm_w5w9kAMYil_ZxvK-TVb6-Uo/s1600/Perfect+Fairytale-garden.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a>Jill Herrick-Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14601738030951759686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441612921454813292.post-23204144329878545322011-07-19T16:09:00.008-04:002011-07-19T16:58:02.518-04:00"Perfect Fairytale"...<div>This is the name of one of the two installations I made for <a href="http://www.artgrowshere.com/">Art Grows Here</a> 2011. </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><br /></span></span></i></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><i>This is my inspiration.</i></span></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix1L4TNV935szPeBkBpLk0PMmcg9Nwn-3FQA3m3PCDNN8nTWg7aQB8wFoghKOs9L4cA9v28VFPyNDxMIxRrIinMwXC1Uniej7i6Po3FQjtwyVkqzMYWaMCDT9dMU867Mv8Y9UN9ffqePKp/s400/kt_Cinderella-Dress-Mice-Coloring.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631160407556456738" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 238px; color: rgb(0, 0, 238); " />As a child, I loved the magic of the birds and mice making her dress...

In it, the birds make a dress for Cinderella. My installation combines my love of nature with my need to manipulate it for my own enjoyment. In whimsical fashion, it explores our impact on nature. </i>(When installed outdoors on site it also includes birdhouses (made by my father and painted by me ) and feeders which involves the birds who fly back and forth as if creating the dress and carrying the ribbons.)</span></span></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFSiFlmsciMJxZZE4r_xK6BbAV1-KcWkZhCbcPm1faCi2nhZfScWObRiDvgBJOHRfPDFHPNcAARmRmc3W4_4QSh06rENsnyeU0WCKZKzOmUKnWGSM_b032ZALDkKjSa57Zhd4dx_gNGPMg/s1600/Art+Grows+Here+2011%252C+Jill+Herrick-Lee+%252522Perfect+Fairytale%252522.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

A continuation<div style="text-align: left;">I have always had a passion for fairytales. They are so loaded with symbology and subject matter. This is one of my first encaustic paintings. I made it back in 2002 and titled it "Fairytale". The reason I am posting it here today is because it relates to a large outdoor installation project I am working on for <a href="http://www.artgrowshere.com/">Art Grows Here 2011</a>, which is one reason I haven't been posting here.

I am re-posting an encaustic painting (above) I did a while back titled "The Three Little Muses" so you can see how they evolved into three-dimensional form. Notice the repeated circle forms as well. I'm sure it will be no surprise to know many of the components in this installation spin and twirl. Sometimes girls just wanna have fun!

The reason being, my very talented friends and I have been busy dreaming up a new way to bring art to our community. We have created a self guided tour of outdoor art installations that is set to begin in a few weeks! To see what we've been up to visit : <span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline ; letter-spacing: 0.0px"><a href="http://www.artgrowshere.com">www.artgrowshere.com</a></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px ;color:#000000;"> </span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>For those who found your way here from there, you can get a sampling of my work by looking at my previous posts.

We have a real WWII Tank in the middle of our town park. Kids love to climb up on it when they aren't playing on the slides or swings or looking for frogs by the pond nearby. Maybe this tiny piece "Bubble Shootin' Tinker Tank" (view below) is my wishful alternative.<div><div><br /></div><div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQMggcbm4xpUj7-Pauma1Qog4IRVPiHAt7ZvHCBvcD05aampJk5Ua4A0k6api2trm-BWOxDjJCtBDIM2udK-x-Not17n2y-pAM0Iq9x8SsrrgJuh0AHdjL-L85uhWl-gxFuBBAZSFuk-0u/s400/Photo+603.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462332238040200866" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0pTi5wIdDNaz5cg6Iei7QbcQaRRRIjQAch5sa1npnVheKMt535mQdERCv03eIDxpaWAiOsta_zSvcxAlt-ZnxtS3uFnS-0KxbJu5V_4ihCIDvMnBpJybR6SmzUIBsGkjRsk4chYIhF8-i/s1600/Photo+610.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 398px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0pTi5wIdDNaz5cg6Iei7QbcQaRRRIjQAch5sa1npnVheKMt535mQdERCv03eIDxpaWAiOsta_zSvcxAlt-ZnxtS3uFnS-0KxbJu5V_4ihCIDvMnBpJybR6SmzUIBsGkjRsk4chYIhF8-i/s400/Photo+610.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462332239272403794" /></a><br />"Bubble Shootin' Tinker Tank" <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">3x6x5 encaustic with vintage stringing beads, Tinker Toy parts, wood, nails.
