Contained


Contained within our bodies, our cars, and our houses. I carved this house as a sketch/ study for a bigger piece. Then a few hours ago, it occurred to me to have fun and not be so serious about the process! So I played around with collage, my block print, and photoshop. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week! : )

I love this! Even though it's a static piece, it has movement.

When are we going to get together?

How well this works as a collage. As aimee has said, it is still very much your style and it also has another dimension to it. It's sometimes hard to move forward however you've done this beautifully.

Ooooh--I really like this. Actually, I really like all of these, but this one especially--the solid solid house, and the map. It's like it's centering us somewhere, and is really beautiful to look at.
