Empathy Box

Here are some pictures of the box-artwork I just finished for the East End Hospice charity auction.
(about EEH: East End Hospice cares for the terminally ill in their homes, providing pain and symptom control, as well as spiritual and emotional support to patients, their families and loved ones. No one is ever turned away, regardless of his or her financial situation.)
Since I've been working with the theme of empathy, I figured it would be even more appropriate for this occasion, so I made a 'Threads of Empathy' box. The definition you'll see is high-gloss ink-jet printed along with a small detail photo and set behind plexi-glass on the left side of the box inside. The media I used for the sculptural elements: nails, carved wood, tinted resin, enamel, sand,and monofilament 'connections', all set into a modified cigar-box.

We all can use tangible reminders of empathy. It's so easy to get caught up in seeing life as 'our reality'.
Loverly!

Date: 2003-05-22 07:54 am (UTC)*sigh* yes, who can help not being saddened by that? I have an almost creepy way of looking at life sometimes...like it's always borrowed time. I see the accident or incident that COULD have happened all the time...and am amazed and grateful that it didn't and I still have time. Can't say it's a light feeling...but does help me appreciate my life/time more.
