New Art!

I am shifting my work. I am still playing with recycled materials but in a different way. I have started to make reclaimed jewelry. Some of the things I am playing with are bottlecaps, puzzle pieces, safety pins and recycled costume jewelry. I am working on applying for a few art shows in the spring as well as trying to get my work in some shops and galleries.

On a side note, if anyone has any costume jewelry that they would like to donate to me give me a shout at yesterdays.window@gmail.com.
Thanks! Happy Holidays

More new pieces: Day 1




Here are some more new pieces I put up today. These are on a different place on campus, but all three are near each other.

This one has been out for a little more than a week. It has rained on it twice but it has kept its significant features.

New Pieces: Day 2





These two fell off. They were hard to find, blending in with the leaves on the ground.

New Pieces: Day 1


Yesterday I put seven new faces up. They are all on trees close to each other. Last night it started to rain so I'll see what happened to them overnight.

Day 3



So it rained all day Thursday. At first my pieces looked good. Changing with the weather. But then the yellow one fell off the tree, which I was expecting. Today I plan to put new pieces up.

Day 2


Today I went over to look at my piece and found that it was on the ground. I don't know if it fell off because of the wind, a person, or a squirrel. Instead of putting it back on the tree I put it in a bush close to the tree. Maybe it will move everyday because of the wind. The face was a little beat up because of the fall.

Day 1

Over the past six months I have been experimenting with paper making. I love destroying paper that has been discarded and making it into something new. From there I made a jump to faces. I love the origionality of every persons face. I have taken plaster molds of my friends and family's faces. From there I make paper faces. After months of working I have more paper and faces than I know where to put them. Lately I have become interested in street art. The idea of putting some art object up for the pubic to see. One of the ideas I like with my work as street art is the idea of its destruction. I love the idea of it being changed by people or nature. On my college campus I have decided to put these faces on trees. I plan to check back with my pieces everyday (or at least every other day) and photographically document the changes in my art. Here is the first piece.
