A new piece in my "Fragile Earth" series, this was created for a Colorado exhibit with the theme 'Earth - Air - Fire - Water.' However, when I read the prospectus I found this piece was too large for the venue!
Reflecting on these elements however gave birth to this composition. The colorful bands represent solar energy (yellow), vegetation and farmland (green), oceans and rivers (blues), and soils and public lands (brown). The background consists of a variety of found objects -- debris sourced from our homestead including rusted metal, rubber and plastics, broken pottery, stone and more.
Stained glass, smalti, millefiori, wire, assorted found objects
