in the studio today

This is new piece I worked on all day today in the studio.  I attempted to create a pseudo-landscape by using book covers and threaded spines as the land, and a dried hydrangea (resembling a tree) growing out from it.

While I’m content with this piece for now, I hope to push this concept further in future pieces.  For now, though – here’s “By It’s Cover” Number 3.

    a rugged landscape made out of books, and a lonely tree made out of dried hydrangea… um, did i somehow personally request this work and then have my memory erased so i could be surprised when you finished? (that is to say, I LOVE IT!)

    haha – glad you like it! I think there’s so much more I need to explore with this concept. :)

    The book titles play into the landscape / fertile soil idea (although the pictures don’t show them well): 1) God Spake These Words” 2) Imago Christi 3) The Church Marched In and 4) Christian Truth and Life.
