"IN THE GARDEN"

I just finished this piece today. It is made from an old cabinet door and alot of lids from bottles, tins, jars, and cans, cloth, belts, paper, and paint. Everything except the nails and glue are recycled. Some one described this as a color explosion.

I'm just about finished with this chair. I found it at the dump, it was pretty beat up (see before picture). I used alot of bottle caps, tins and nails.

I came across this picture today and thought it was interesting to see how I started out and what the finished piece looked like. I don't have a plan that I am aware of and I like that I can take something out or add something pretty much anywhere along the line.

See explanation below

Inside (really bad picture)

LOVE:What's in the cabinet.

This piece is in a new show at FRANK www.frankisart.com in the COLORS show. This photo is from the website. I made this from a cabinet I purchased at the habit resale store. The front is mostly lids and caps with a few other things thrown in. I made it before I went to Sante Fe. I guess just thinking about going there inspired me. I'll try to get a picture of the inside up soon. If you're in Chapel Hill come by the gallery. It's such a beautifully put together exhibit.

I had this piece hanging at FRANK and was fortunate enough to sell in the opening night. I used a piece of house siding, a couple of old shirts, belts, old instrument cases.....a lot of stuff.
