Years back, a good friend said that above all else, as an artist, I am a gluer. Yep. The majority of my art/magic involves glue. Many of the pieces here are not grouted, but nevertheless mosaics of bits and pieces I glue to something. This started years back when my collection of single earrings and broken bits of jewelry didn’t eat to be discarded, yearned to be seen and ended up on a lamp base. Yes, you guessed it, letting go is one of my challenges in life. So has learning to not struggle to jettison my broken and lonely bits but instead, honor them and transform them into something of beauty.
On the wall behind me is the house spell made from the Victorian wallpaper a in the attic that came down when I remodeled. I also used old newspapers from the 1930’s that were found in the back of the closets in the attic. The house spirits needed an offering. This big mixed media piece was that offering.
