"The world is a circus if we want it to be.
The sadness of circuses comes at night.
The sadness of circuses comes at night.
Don't get close enough to see the illusion for what it is.
It is at night when the clowns are sad."
It is at night when the clowns are sad."
Sewing machine drawer covered in hand made papers on the outside and encyclopedia pages on the inside. A tearful clown looks sadly out - a mirror reflects the viewer as they look in. I used wooden drawer pulls for feet, and a crystal drawer pull as the topper. A colorful wooden fish swims casually by and a wind-up music box plays a cheerful tune.
What is it the song says......nothing sadder than the tears of a clown when no ones around? Love your piece:)
ReplyDeleteFabulous piece and I love the idea behind it as much as the finished work. penny
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to celebrate a childhood memory. I like how the fish doesn't seem to be contained inside the box.
ReplyDeleteI have had a terrible time with my internet and my e-mail for the past three or four days. I wanted you to know I received your package yesterday and it is wonderful. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. A proper acknowledgement will follow when I can log into my e-mail account.
I love your Circus of Sadness. I love the red of the box and the fish tail "outside" the box. Great work, great story.
