You remember I decided to stop hyperventilating, take the plunge and apply for a group art show at Seattle City Hall? I made the deadline! [throws confetti]
This piece is based on a journal page; "Opened" is the first of two pieces I submitted to the Onyx Fine Art Collective jurors I call "Opened." The canvas is supported by an opened, scorched book, attached to a cabinet door. I created the texture with light molding paste.
But it was the second one the jurors were interested in: "The Land is Ours, Papa."
I gave it to The Husband after I completed it in 2011. He loves it, but he says he's willing to part with it -- for a price.
The show is actually in two areas: the lobby...
... and the rest in the Anne Focke Gallery, on a different floor. The exhibit is partly sponsored by the Seattle Office of Arts and Culture. The Onyx Fine Art Collective show runs March 6th through May 1st. I'll post photos of my piece in city hall when it's up... stay tuned.
