Outside In

After bringing in daffodils and jonquils from my wooded backyard this spring to enjoy, I decided to photograph one of the vases and make art from it. In this 14"H x 11"W x 1.5" deep piece, I combined the cut out strips from three variations of the original photo with handmade papers and text from an 1864 accounting ledger from a textile mill.

Spring's First Gifts

This piece was inspired by all the varieties of daffodils and narcissus that sprang up in the wooded backyard of my new home. I used my invented process of filtering my photos and cutting them into strips and then added little pieces of shredded $1000 bills in the leaf litter areas (bottom detail shot shows some of the currency). The two smaller panels are 1.5" deep and the middle one is .75" deep. The panels are attached and hang as one artwork.
