A Piece in the Works...

the past year and a half of my life encapsulated so many emotions...pure lovelinesses and hideous truths. i have been mulling over a big mixed media piece that will serve a a commemoration of that time...and the image of what it is to be is finally settled in my mind.

i have worked out imagery, materials and even composition, yet still struggle with how it will all come together.

right now i am in the process of gathering the following items:
rusty chain and or chicken wire
old, antiquated piano keys
some tattered red material
black ink
gold leafing
silver wire, very thin and thread-like

i have the large board the piece will be constructed on. and i have 18 months of journal entries that will be entombed in the piece as well.
