"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
