Internal Landscapes

Finished the piece begun in the previous piece, utilizing single cubes of safety glass in black iridescence and clear glass gilded in copper on found cedar scraps. Micromosaic style, i.e. set in piece by piece, nothing in between.

Internal landscape, constantly shifting.

Getting Small 1 of 3

I am working with single cubes, mostly, in this, the first of a three panel set, inspired by Italian micro mosaic, most often used in jewelry, fitting together near slivers of glass or ceramic.
Here, rendered with clear glass gilded with copper foil and near opaque black glass, courtesy of 3 different car accidents on my corner, on found cedar scrap. 7 x 5"
Abstract. the pieces are small. Close up is larger than actual size.

Vertigo

New work.
Blue glass backed with silver foil. Very small pieces.
Black glass. Car accidents are up 500% in the past 6 months on my street, hooray for progress.
Pearls of varied sizes. On found wood, untreated. 12 x 12"
I haven't felt like posting until this piece. One with flash, one without.

I am (also) a car crash

Yet another car accident. I just rewatched the Herzog "30 Seconds...", about driving and texting. Spoiler alert: it takes an anti stance.

Sometimes people miss that my work is, at its base parts, the after effects of an act of violence. Things don't break so easily, bringing them back together as a new whole doesn't heal the shatter.

Light blue wind shield glass (the blue was washed out, too rainy to photograph outside) gilded in silver, red reflector, also silver gilded. On painted wood.

Blackstar

The title just happens to work. Happy Holy Day!

Mirror, mirror, 1920s black bakelite art deco vanity mirror gilded in silver with silver gilded clear safety glass, black windshield glass, shell button, black pearl, assorted freshwater pearls. Fairest of them all.
