New Work: Harvest Home




I am so excited to announce that my new book assemblage: Harvest Home will be featured in a new books arts show at the Chandler Art Center in Randolph, VT called Turning Leaves.

I have been playing with some ideas of how to marry some of the new techniques I have been using with my old assemblage process. The outcome is this new book sculpture: Harvest Home. Influenced by the research I have been doing with old houses and the stories abandoned homesteads carry with them. This piece incorporates 7 found photographs given to me by a local historian of a family that resided in Williston, VT in the late 19th/early 20th century.

The show opens on Sunday with a reception and artist talk.
