| Temple 2010 collage, 7 x 11" |
As an artist working with found objects, I have been thinking about this question. For some, objects hold connections to people, places or events of the past, keeping those treasured memories alive. For others, certain objects are powerful talismans of reverence or protection. And for others still, objects hold intrinsic significance because of their value, their aesthetics or their uniqueness.
My new work takes the form of small assemblages carefully contained under glass, reminiscent of scientific specimens under bell jars from the past, or secured in boxes with windows to reveal their contents. Combinations of natural objects - wood, bone, feathers, insects, discarded metal machine parts, gold leaf and beads may cause the viewer to wonder what the compositions represent. Interpretation is personal, and may lead in a variety of directions. If you are curious, come to transit gallery this month and take a look!
