TEMPORARY SHELTER

Temporary Shelter (full view)
Found objects, papers, copper tape, twine, mica, photographs

Temporary Shelter (inside pages)
Notes: Created for a show at OFFCenter Community Arts Project. I got into a serious car accident after starting the project. This was the first artwork I made while recuperating. I literally laid on the couch and arranged the pages two at a time on a footstool.

BEADED ARTIST TRADING CARDS
Artist Trading Card
"Out beyond ideas of rightdoing and wrongdoing,
there is a field.
I'll meet you there." --Rumi

2" x 3-1/2"
Stamped ink and paint on white bead backing,
paper, paper transfers, typography on vellum,
beads and vintage sew-ons.

Artist Trading Card
"The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep!" --Rumi

Notes: These were created for a swap. We each made 10 or 12 cards. My theme was Rumi. I painted the non-woven polyester bead backing with a single coat of white gesso, which made it possible to print, stamp, and attach transfers to it.
