Twentieth Series: First Homage to Joseph Cornell.

I particularly adore Cornell. Of all his series some of the simplest and amazing are his galaxy or constellation works. The edition will be 10. They consist of a stark adobe window through which a dark dark night sky is viewed sprinkled with stars individually and in clusters. So I decided to make my own galaxies as my first homage to Cornell. The work consists of a round plastic box 1 inch tall by 1 1/4 inches in diameter with a slide-on lid. Inside I have brushed the walls of the box with gesso to approximate the adobe. Beyond that I have painted the indigo sky speckled with stars. A ceramic face was placed in the lower right corner and a drift of sand and one bead in the bottom. On the outside sealing the box is the information label with the title, edition number, and blog address. On the verso is a magnet as these works will be placed on metal. Did you see one? Tell me.

Nineteenth Series: See Me Tell Me Shifts. It’s the end of summer. Time to put away all your sundresses and get out your wool sweaters. This series was started during fashion week and will be finished just as it starts to snow. These little dresses are decorated with the patterns I find in the museums, galleries, and art fairs I visit as well as the images I find on the street. 100 will be made. They will be placed October-December, 2010 in New York. Each collage consists of a 4 1/2 x 2 1/4 inch piece of cloth or japanese paper or found cloth scraps cut in the shape of a shift or sundress. The image is heat transferred on to the surface and the dress is hung on a handmade wire hanger. On verso is the information label with the title and date of the series and the number in the edition. Did you see one? Tell me.

Eighteenth Series: Moon Phases. Celebrating the change of seasons and Halloween I made a series of collages based on the phases of the moon in October. 31 were created. Collages placed October 5, 2010 in New York. Each collage consists of a 3 x 1 1/2 inch manila colored label with medium brown eyelet strung with cotton string. Heat transferred on to the surface and deliberately destroyed is an image of the moon in a specific stage and a collage of that same phase set on top. On verso is a sticker diagram or image of moon phases, an unrelated moon phase image on Japanese paper, the information label with the title and date of the moon phase pictured on the front of the collage. Silver glitter and blue moon glitter is affixed to the left corner. Did you see one? Tell me.
