So here you see i resined the hell out of the piece again. starting to like it. actually i LOVE it. show me something shiny and i get all excited. again, i thought this was the final step but something just isn’t finished about it. i hung the piece on the wall and it seemed to not have enough presence. it needs to have a home. pete and i discussed and pete really surprised me with some GREAT suggestions. not to say that pete isn’t creative, he just doesn’t know it and doesn’t always respond to art out loud. anyway, the piece needs a home. now i’m thinking of creating a plush bed of stuffed fabric panels in a frame and having the black piece look as though it’s being presented in a plush silken box. OR mounting the piece on a mirrored surface that has a victorian wallpaper pattern applied.
i don’t know just yet. i’m leaning toward the fabric option but that’s gonna be some work for me. more to come.

OMG!!! I love this! It’s a little reminiscent of Louise Nevelson, who I love, only more organic. I really hope you worked in a well ventilated space…Polyester Resin causes all kinds of nasty diseases.
Check out the work of Gaetano Pesce. I can’t stand him, but he’s a master of resin.

you know i love my resin. worked outside for the most part. no worries. also wore a mask while painting. it’s a glamorous job but someone has to do it.
love the work of louise nevelson. didn’t think about it till you said something. i’m sure it was stored in the memory banks somewhere. there is no original idea.

let’s see if this comment works. I couldn’t comment when you were in SA and I was on a laptop. maybe now. Your piece is lots of fun. I love the 3 dimensional aspect and tone on tone that the shadows and dimensions create.

I loves it. You’d better believe that once I have a place to lay my head for more than 7 months to a year I’m contracting you to make a piece for me. Now I just need to find a man. Cuz THAT was easy…
