This is my entry in the collaborative project "The 2011 Buried Treasure". This project, the brain child of Seth Apter over at The Altered Page will take place this year on Thursday July 28th. This annual e-vent asks participating bloggers to re-post a favorite post from their own blog.
I am re-posting “Come Play With Me”● originally posted 5/27/2010. This piece is totally interactive. Constructed in a vintage oak file box that has been altered and embellished with wooden inserts to hold things that are ROUND: A wooden top, a vintage light bulb, a tea ball, a lovely glass door knob, a compass, a doll's head, a globe, and eyeball that sits in a glass funnel. All items can be picked up and played with, as their texture tells the story of the life they had before they came here. This piece also includes a wind-up music box, and brass drawer pulls on each end. (click on any image to enlarge for a closer look.) IN PRIVATE COLLECTION
Do stop by Seth’s blog on Thursday 7/28 to see tons of links of favorite posts by some great bloggers! This is a link to Seth's blog.
Oh nice! I love this Rebeca. You are so talented. Yes, I've heard of Seth. A lot of bloggie buddies visit Seth's blog. Thank you for sharing, have a great week. Beautiful work, lots of meaning.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Rebeca!--love the different elements.
ReplyDeleteI only found Seth today! This is beautiful and very clever!
ReplyDeleteVery clever and nicely done :o)
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that you can remove the elements from the box. My curiosity would definitely get the better of me if I saw this piece in person.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of an interactive assemblage- I really want to hold all those things- this is great!

Hi Rebeca, Just found your post from Seth's Buried Treasure collab. Your wooden box with the round objects is so creative and inspiring. Thanks for sharing this post. I see you have also joined Artsee bloggers from your sidebar. I have too. Hope it is a wonderful new meeting place for artists!
ReplyDeleteboy that Seth, he is some guy . . . isn't he. i don't know how he does it, but i am very glad he does, and i am glad, too, that we all found him so we can connect through him . . .
ReplyDeleteanyway thanks again, all of you, hope to see you all back soon.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great art idea. I love that it can be handled. Wants to be handled. Felt. Looked at. Thought about. Impregnated with memories. Evocative of thought/emotion. It is a beautiful sculpture art piece. Lovely! *smiles* Norma
ReplyDeleteRebeca,
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't made it here sooner. You know I follow your blog, so not getting here sooner shows how busy I've been this week. This is a wonderful piece. I love the way you made it interactive. I find you do that with a lot of your art and I hope new visitors see that, too.
