"Mirror, Mirror Me"●
This new memory mirror emerged from the depths of my studio at the end of summer. This piece came together quickly, embellished with the bling, baubles, bangle
s and other momentos from many sources and different vintages.
- The wood frame is covered in green tissue and overlaid with vintage sewing patterns.
- The large silver piece on top is half of a silver plate napkin holder.
- Like many of my pieces, this one is interactive and meant to be
played with. An example is the white seagull in the second image, a tiny under-magnet allows the bird to be moved around.
- The dangley chains provide kinetic movement.
- The pieces with words help the viewer tell a story.
- In the lower left is a vintage metal purple and red tin toy top, possibly a Cracker Jack toy (see image below), depicts a clown and circus imageand the words "VIDBEL'S OLDE TYME CIRCUS" and "under the big top".
As some of you know, I show my work at the Sebastopol Gallery, in Sebastopol, CA. There are 15 member artists at this gallery, and we typically rotate our work and our exhibit space every 6-8 weeks. This was one of the new pieces I brought in to hang in the the gallery at our rotation in early October. I am pleased to say that "
Mirror, Mirror Me" found a new home within the first week.
