"We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine." - Eduardo Galeano
Living in Wine Country, this has become a favorite quote.
A nicely beveled piece of wood found at the flea market was usee as the substrate for this piece. Tosnugly hold the scrabble tiles, I created a frame using wooden chop sticks. The entire frame is covered, front and back, in vintage text with a tissue overlay. A copper butterfly finishes the piece.
Good news: I have been invited to be the guest artist at the Windsor Arts Council in Windsor, CA during the month of August. This piece was made specially for this show.
Wish me luck!
