Semblances and Silhouettes
Mixed Media
Entered in the 2nd Annual Delaware State Employee Art Contest 2013 This item started with a wine crate and ended up as a shadow box with primarily pictures of myself from when I was 3 months old until present. I used shapes and colors in the pictures to show the stages and moods of life. I created the heavens by hanging certain shapes and below I brought things down to earth with the graveyard scene. The hanging items in the sky will rotate when you blow into the holes on the end of the box. The frontal plastic sheet protects the work and allows for an area to paste some pictures to help creating the 3D effect.
