Wire works and findings. This shadow box is for our friend Danielle Howle, musician and songwriter whose voice and stories dig deep and reach for bluest sky. She's as solid as earth and spun of whimsy.
Pat, this box holds a certain magical quality, I love the boxed open-ness and I love the description. may you find many more days to create such visionary works. /mary
I come to studio art and craft from graphic design. To balance my computer-based career, I stepped back into art first with drawing. I drew the classical subject of the body, striving to capture beauty and strength embodied.
The artist and designer merged when I began to create shadow boxes. These works unleashed my propensity to collect feathers, rocks, and whatnots; and my love of wood, tools, and metal workings. In my boxes I juxtapose found and created elements and explores “burrs," kernels of truth, perception, and unsettling beauty.
My love of metal and tools and workings now has me completely entangled in jewelry. My pieces are well-crafted, inventive, and dedicated to repurposing and recycling found elements.
