"The Last of His Kind". mixed media in a Pecan shell. 1" x 1/2".
The ideas for these tiny collages began when I was organizing my studio over the holidays. Small pieces of wood had drifted into the studio and I loved how tiny and interestingly formed each piece was. I have this tendency to constantly collect many items that interest me from old books in thrift stores to twigs and bugs found on the ground while hiking. The tiny collages became my sketchbook- fairly quick to make, these mini-narratives captured my thoughts and imagination without the tedium of the larger pieces. I ended up making over 70 of these to hang in my first show this past May.
Most of the pieces are under 6" tall.
