Art Westport THIS WEEKEND!

My ONE AND ONLY art festival this year starts TODAY!  Art Westport is Friday, 1-9, Saturday 10-9, and Sunday, 11-6.  I'll be in Booth 47, pretty close to where I've been the last two years.  See below for a few new things to expect...

Process shot of 12 heart grid.

Weird double heart, 20 x 20"

Another double heart, this one with a kind of Rorschach design.
Clover thinks you should definitely see it in person!
Frames and nails used in frames are from my house walls--100+ year old lath and nails.
32 x 16" 

Shot of last year's booth--I will have some of the same/similar stuff again.

From the body of work currently showing at the Kemper Museum, I'll have some
smaller versions from my Orzo series.  These are 8 x 8" & 5 x 5".

Anatomical Heart Shadowbox #8

found wood, fabric paper, vinyl, paint
8 x 10 3/4 inches

Anatomical Heart Shadowbox #7

found wood, paint, paper, vinyl
8 x 10 3/4 inches

The image here is from a 1970's National Geographic picture of a flock of flamingos in Northern Africa...upside down.

Anatomical Heart Shadowbox #6

found wood, old book pages, paint, vinyl
8 x 10 3/4 inches

The book is The Christmas Carol, this edition published in 1899.  I glued it down then sanded it before painting the heart in and adding the vinyl lines on top.

Anatomical Heart Shadowbox #5

found wood, paper, vinyl, paint
8 x 10 3/4 inches

I think this was the first one I made last  year...so I  put the frame on first, then painted it and added the design without painting the lath.  I like the natural look and the more roughly painted edge inside.
