"The Details of Life" ●
Rock me. This piece pulls the viewer in to see the details, in doing so, the viewer sees himself. . . .
A 4" wooden picture frame became the base for this wall-hung mirror assemblage. Attached to the wooden frame are various and sundry found objects of any person's life. A license plate, a typewriter eraser, a tag from the Del Prado Museum coat room, dominoes, plastic scissors, vintage clock parts, guitar tuning pegs, fishing line, a red plastic monkey and of course "bling". On top is a vintage, silver metal drawer pull for easy carrying.
Lot's to see, to take a closer look. (to enlarge click any image to enlarge)

ReplyDeletethanks Dave. and you are correct, it was very fun!
ReplyDeletethis is terrific! the first thing i noticed was the "eye" behind the guitar strings - it's open and then it's closed. nice job.
ReplyDeletethanks C - very good . . . the 'eye' is my favorite thing on this piece.
ReplyDeleteThis piece looks great. All the details are so lovely and allow the eye to wander around and around. Just perfect!

Wow, Rebeca, It's like a charm bracelet for your wall! I love the edginess of it, too--kind of what a rock star might have for a bulletin board. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness--do I love this--yes it is a charm bracelet for your wall--wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is fabulous! So much to see. I need to study it more, but what first caught my attention was the guitar strings strung across the mirror. Very very cool.

ReplyDeleteSuper cool, and over the top. I LUV it.
ReplyDeleteThanks to you all. . . i never thought of it like that, a charm bracelet for my wall . . . a bulletin board for a rock star . . . that is so perfect!
ReplyDeleteI just got back online for the first time in several weeks (other than some scheduled posts). I'm hoping my computer woes are over and I can visit more often. I really like the assemblage because you become a part of the art when you are up close to it. Very well executed.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to tell you the friend you asked about on my blog sidebar is Joseph Peck and yes, he is a musician. He plays steel drums and that's why his nickname is "Panhead." He also makes recordings and writes all his music. He's very talented and his music is not what one would consider "traditional" steel drums.
Sorry I haven't been around sooner, but I am hopefully back. This was the longest I was ever offline, so I'm thrilled to be back. I hope you had a great new year, since I missed the actual day!
