"The house where nobody lives"

Last piece in the Josephine Apt. series, "The house where nobody lives" (leave the key in the slot). House of gilded glass, plastic, broken jewelry, wire
set on a triangle of found wood. Background is painted in gold pigment, interference violet pigment, topped with gold foil, textured with fishnet. Keys. Glass. 2nd photo is close up before layering of foil.

Lily Pad and Water

I enjoy touchstone pieces, the imagistic ones done several times throughout one's career. The lilypad and water is one of such pieces for me. Japanese simplicity from gold gilded beer bottles, silver windshield glass, Japanese glass float pieces, and other found glass. center piece is a large pearlescent jewelry piece. JAS piece.

Roses, because it is (almost) winter

Cigar box. Paper roses on outside and inside of lid, inside" collage of glass, broken jewelry, metal,  wood, buttons, keys, chandelier bits and other found objects inside.

The oxidation of foil on glass is fascinating-- lower left rectangular chandelier piece: a Blue Valentine in my rose garden.

Between the Bars

Josephine Apartment series with mesh, broken jewelery, glass of all sorts (found), metal, plastic. The gold pigment, which the wood is painted with, is closer to the outside photos than the indoor. Some repairs had to be made, so the pieces do differ, slightly, from indoor to outdoor.

coup de grâce

Final finished piece from the "Josephine Apartments" series. There are at least 2 more part of this series, one begun before leaving, one created post. At least 2 are not yet on the blog, so, a total of 11 pieces.
