Seth Apter over at The Altered Page, has called for artists to be part of a treasure hunt to uncover artists and their work and continue the quest for community. So, I have joined the treasure hunt. Thanks, Seth. Please take a peek at my work. I am always happy to share. Check out the other fabulous participants.
Here's one of my more recent creations:
"Kin" Assemblage
 | |||
| "Kin" Assemblage This assemblage on canvas, 12" x12"x 1 1/2" is my latest in a series of word inspired collage. I used a tintype of my great-great grandfather, Samuel Bancroft on top of a McGuffy book cover used by many of my aunts in the one room school house just down the road. The problem was that I didn't have the letter"K", but that was solved in the night when I recalled that I had some children's alphabet magnets. ..two choices, green or yellow. When scrounging for some rusted washers in my husband's shop, he came across a native bone button. That was the needed inspiration, "Kin" , all my relations. Red, black, yellow, white. and so it evolved. It just happened. Game pieces, feather embellishment. Honoring the sky above and the earth below. Rust from my dad's junk pile. I love the way it came together. That's the thrill of creating! Enjoy! |
Thanks for spreading the word about Buried Treasure. "Kin" is a great piece. I love the background, the grouping of objects you used, and the way the composition brings the eye around the canvas.
