Microcosm

[avad]

I've been meaning to post this for a while. It absolutely amazes me and I am convinced it is leading me towards something, an integration of photography into my art, varying presentations, etc. The pictures in my mind are suddenly graspable by camera of all things, and it is so satisfying! I have always been very interested in the idea of microcosms.....but I was unprepared to discover them so VISIBLY when taking photos of my pieces. Take a look at this. Here (below)is a full shot of a new mixed-media piece I call 'Searching'. The mediums are nails, resin, enamel, acrylic, glue on wood....

Hmmm...it's hard to say, because I was working on a few pieces at the same time quite slowly, going from one to another as the inspiration moved...and some days I just stare and wait until I know what I should do next...but it was a period of I guess about 3 months working on it. But again, I'm VERY slow...a lot of staring and circling. I'm sure it could be 'made' faster...but I just don't work that way.
