My installation is coming along at a nice, slow, steady pace. I'm really enjoying the art making process. I've been forgetting, however, to take photos of the keys as I've been working on them...until today.
One of the reasons I forget to take pictures is because there's generally glass in each piece. Today, however, the sun was shining....very brightly....and I took these photos before fitting the frames with glass...shadowboxing them. All these image are "clickable". All these pieces will be added to the peeling, painted, wooden doors. I'll try to take some photos of the project tomorrow.
It's hard to capture in my studio...it's just too cramped...but it is amazing how the space is transformed into an oasis of creativity!
These are amazing Susan--what I want to know is where did you get all the keys.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the variety of the backgrounds, something to really look into.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with all the different styles of frames .... and I love old keys (Always had a bunch in our toy box when we were kids!)very cool
ReplyDeleteBritt :-)
Fabulous Susan, such a variety of frames. I think though that the key 'against wickedness' has got to be my favourite :)
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. I can't wait to see the finished piece!
ReplyDeleteLove the fourth one with the ravelly textures and touch of metallics--lace and threads and oooooooo :}
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful work Susan! The textures of these and the peeling doors will be super. I love watching this all unfold!

I love them all wonderful
ReplyDeleteOK Susan, Now you've got me crying just looking at your pieces. I'm so jealous that you are selling all the pieces I want for myself forever. It's like losing little pieces of you as others gain them.
ReplyDeleteats is so bitter sweet, but mostly and foremost sweet. Mom
I've been wanting some old keys for some of my work but haven't been able to find any. Where did you find all of yours?
ReplyDeleteYour work is marvelous, capturing the antiquity in color and mood while offering concrete imagery. Fantastic!
I love all the keys. I was happy to see that the Key of Judgement wasn't particularly large and that the Key to Home had a little added color. I also like that you have left the viewer to determine what other keys may be. We all have some common decisions and then others that are unique to each person.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed you are amazing Susan.........
