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....

only when you blink.;) Very odd goings on I tell you...all these little spherical parallel universes in there...each nailhead a galaxy or planet. The sort of thing you expect to disappear when you rub your eyes, but lo and behold the little suckers actually pose for pictures! This world is getting bold in its strangeness I tell you. I love having proof of the weirdness these eyes see.;)

more nail heads!

I did once, making a small artwork for a friend. Made Galaxies of nails within a box...and tipped them with glo-paint for an added surprise when in darkness.:)but that's about it. Didn't seem very archival...
