I’ve participated the past several years and I was invited to submit art again this year. I created ten Curious Elements<\/em> with a heart theme. My Curious Elements<\/em> are found object pieces of art created in a multi-step process. In a nutshell, I cut up pieces of board, apply paint, plaster, sand, stain, and wax. To add depth and interest, I cut up yard sticks, apply vintage paper and a layer of stain. Then I rummage through my bins and boxes of bits, auditioning pieces of metal and sometimes scraps of fabric. When I’m satisfied with the layout and the underlying story, I begin the process of attaching. And that’s how a Curious Element<\/em> is born – I once counted about 22 steps in the process from beginning to end!<\/p>\n

Enough yammering. Here are the ten Curious Elements I created for the show.<\/p>\n
