A GIFT OF CONTINUATION

To maintain our botanical province and natural surroundings 
we carefully save our seeds from one plant generation to the 
next to preserve the quality of a species. 

A Gift of Continuation is an offering in hopes of bringing forth another generation and continue the valued tradition of seed saving.

A Gift of Continuation

This piece, as with others I have created of similarity, is made from various materials. The chair is made from metal street sweeper bristles arduously constructed twisting wire around the "slats" to hold them in place. It was a bit of a struggle keeping everything aligned while maneuvering the pliers and wire as I secured the "slats". The small 1 inch square box is made from mica and paper with red maple "whirly-gigs" inside it representing seeds gifted for the future.

ANOTHER BRUSH WITH FATE

This is the second show I have participated in with the theme being BOXES. If you have followed my blog over the years you may remember the pieces I did back in 2007. I had a lot of pieces for that show...a busy time for me.
You can revisit a few of these pieces via these links:
Secrets in the Basement..., The Forgotten Offering, Some Are Quite Coy, The Tinder Box, Jack In The Box 

This current BOXES show opens tomorrow night, Sept. 4, 2015 at Bainbridge Arts and Crafts Gallery on Bainbridge Island with 14 artists revealing their take on BOXES. The Artists Reception is from 6-8pm. If you are in the area, stop by to see the exhibit and for a visit and perhaps a glass of wine.

The image below shows Another Brush With Fate in mid-stream progress where I contemplate what to use, such as objects I have on hand or something I need to fabricate to build the remainder of the piece. The surface of my work table, more often than not, gets pretty cluttered, but I hear it is a sign of a creative mind...we'll hope that is true and not something to the contrary.

  Again, with this piece as with many others, the sequence of assemblage is critical so as not to damage other parts as I am putting the elements together to complete it...

End result...Another Brush With Fate

Another Brush With Fate

In the artful world of nest building our feathered friends create their homes wherever their needs call them. Be it a tree limb, a rafter, a shoe, or perched on an old box, their designs, constructions and locations are quite ingenious and often precarious, therefore their future can hang in the balance.

I like to add a sense fun with the use of word-play for my pieces titles, 

thus was born Another Brush With Fate.
