Just in time for Halloween?.....

...Well it ought to be. I made this piece in August, posted it elsewhere in September, and kept putting it off from posting here. Why? Dunno. But here it is...My Darkness.


This 6x6 piece represents what may be lurking in many of us. This is definitely some of my darkness. Roots go deep. What's underneath, inside. Do we dare expose it?

Believe it or not, the face is made from pieces of Coka' Cola cans. Embossed, inked, punched and nailed together with gold pin heads. Collaged papers, washers, flooring nails, vintage beads, and the brown eye (it's not a piece from a computer), you don't wanna know.

Background: acrylic paints, and image transfer experiment.

It is spooky and since you made it, of course I believe it is Coke cans! You could turn lead into gold!
