Found objects or mixed media on a mirrored background

An integral wood box creates a frame, 10"x10"x3"

Found Objects: Mirror Background, old wood spindle, birch bark, colored wire, wood discs, glass shelf (Can stand on end or can be hung)

My medium is anything! Twigs, vines, workshop scraps and found objects are everywhere. It is a challenge to create sculpture from found objects: each has its own character, dimension and original purpose. Found objects and natural objects from the forest and trees combine to become whimsies that challenge the imagination and amuse the psyche. A natural burl becomes an exaggerated figure; a whimsical root becomes a tangle of extremities and a shoe last becomes a clownish foundation. I create art to amuse!

Where we focus will determine what we see; how we use what we see depends on our creativity"
