"The End" (again)

"The End (again)"●

"EVERYTHING WILL BE OK IN THE END, IF IT'S NOT OK IT'S NOT THE END" John Lennon

   I made a similar one of these boxes a few months ago, and it 'flew' out of the gallery!  So i thought I would make another one. The base for this one is the lid of an explosives box.  The frame is made from vintage yard sticks cut to size.  Children's wood blocks spell out the message, and a tiny frog on the top looks on.

"Daddy Long Legs"

"Daddy Long Legs"●
This assemblage is constructed with remnant 2x2 pieces of lumber from a recent remodel. Each piece is covered with vintage sheet music, maps, dictionary pages and magazine images. It is topped with a beautiful piece of driftwood found on the northern California coast. I used wooden dice for feet, and embellished the piece with various found objects including a large brass drawer pull. On the backside, the piece is seemingly held together with two vintage folding carpenter rulers.  I love the way the blocks fit together anyway you turn them, each one becoming an art piece on its own, and when they come together they tell a whole story.  IN PRIVATE COLLECTION
