Stopping in NYC a couple weeks ago before heading on to Bermuda, the hike to the Museum of Modern Art was well worth the visit.  Some of the art now on display:

There were four Joseph Cornell assemblages on display as well as a few of his collages:

If you live in the NYC area, be sure to stop in and visit Seth and Kristin at the Cog and Pearl Gallery (190 5th Av, Brooklyn) I have several assemblage pieces available there right now (yes, a little shameless self-promotion).

Big street fairs seem to cover several blocks in different part of the city on the weekends...great fun if you get there early before the crowds of people show up:

Bermuda Rust

Having just returned from a trip to Bermuda, I realized that most visitors take the "usual" touristy photos...beaches, landscapes, flowers, etc.  I, on the other hand, found a massive pile of beautifully old rusted equipment and metals that just begged for some photographic attention. Venturing into this pile of rust with camera in hand, I discovered some treasures:

I suppose a few of those touristy photos of Bermuda are in order:

I had no idea what this item was!  I found it last year during one of my gleaning sessions at the city dump.  I just had my "ah ha" moment today when I got some unexpected online information about it:

Picture
The one that I found, made from some type of soft fiberboard, had obviously been used quite heavily...it was very nicely "aged."
Picture
I cut it apart to line one of my boxes, but realized that I'd have to coat it with gel medium to keep the many loose fibers in place.  It worked beautifully with the Madonna statue that I found which also needed a good coating of the gel medium to keep everything sealed in place  (you  gotta' love that stuff). 
Picture
The completed piece was actually "banned" from our culminating group gallery show at the last moment ("no religious icons allowed"), which was ultimately a good thing...it's now one of my favorite pieces!

Resurrecting the Old #3

I had originally constructed this piece about a year ago "without" a box.  I've decided that it needs its own box (and glass cover)...and that direction became the new re-vision for this piece.

Photographing any work with "glass" is a tough job! I do my best, but it's always a struggle to get clarity.

A piece that I made a couple years ago for a "Day of the Dead" show at Cannibals Gallery has undergone a re-vision.  It's the same small piece, in the same small black box...given new life in a larger glassed box with a few added details:
