The rapture of the spring thaw…. the race of the snow thaw, the freshness of the green … moss breeds quickly as the water finds its way. Nature has a way of clearing the rocks that gather in our heads after a long week of working.
For this artist, a great chunk of the fun and the magic of this piece lie as much its materials as its captivating image. None of the “rocks” are rocks. All are given new life from recycled materials, both natural and man-made. The water, the foam, and the moss are all thread sculptures molded in to the base of beeswax and damar resin. Surprises like nut shells and avocado shells lurk along the viewer’s path through the work, just as if traveling through the woods on a Sunday afternoon.
