1″x .75″, found objects
Last week’s pendant had real beetle wings, and this week’s accidentally turned into an abstracted beetle. Once I combined the iridized beads and the ridged piece of an old bracelet there was no denying it’s beetle-ness. Those are certainly legs. And antennae. When I lived in Chile I had the opportunity to paint a mural with a non-representational painter and I found it so difficult to move beyond abstraction to non-representational work. A circle was representational. A line could be. My brain couldn’t really process what wasn’t. Today I’m fine with that. I’ll hide meaning in my shapes and let you find some too.
