| "Flight" 21.5" x 17.5" x 1.5" |
For the assemblage that was selected for the show I combined found objects, paper, encaustic paint and milk paint.
The center piece is part of a sewing machine carrying case that I mounted on linen mat board. It is attached with antique brass brads. The rolled scroll is an antique book that had lost it's cover.
I wrapped it with silk and wired it to the surface. It is dipped in beeswax.

On top of this I mounted a piece of black paper that I treated with bleach. The bleach left a nice organic shape (see detail below)
The collage is on hardboard, with clear encaustic paint and an image transfer from an antique
botanical print.
This image shows a detail of the handmade envelope with a feather inside and a piece of
vintage silk cloth. It is hand sewn to the mat board with natural thread.
The # three is a copper number distressed, painted and wrapped with wire. An air force uniform
button in brass is sewn on. I attached the vintage watch face to a piece of found wood I painted
with encaustic paint.
