This year I promised myself I would start to enter more juried exhibitions (the ones that had an entry fee under $25) with my assemblage art. I was disillusioned by the experience of entering a mega-exhibit (read all about it here) and karma rewarded me with acceptance for the Small Art exhibit at the Fibre Arts Design Studio. The show is in Palo Alto, CA from June 14 thru end of July. I won’t be able to attend, but it’s nice to be accepted in the tony Bay area. Here are my two on display:
I love the Patent Pending 2007. It’s my sister’s feet in 1947.
Now that you’re “hung” in a Gallery, I guess I couldn’t afford it.
—GG
And mine in 1955. And I can’t afford the flight to the opening.
I absolutely love your compositions. Stunning. (BTW, a coincidence- I’m right now at Berkeley at a conference- the tony Bay area!)
Thank you, Thomas! Too bad you’ll probably be gone by the 14th. But I love coincidences. And I just realized the wrong style of shoe was in the title. Quik edit 🙂
I particularly like the one with the mary janes, but also like how they work off of the shade of blue + fonts for the Vanity Fair Girdle Supporters (don’t really see those around now, do you?).
You have a good eye. Subconsciously is mostly how I assemble. Afterwards I might see it as you do, but not always as I work. Thanks!
