Description I definitely feel these to be companion pieces. BTW, both these, and the last submission look MUCH better in person. In photography format they loose all of their tactile appeal and texture. It's very sad, but the only way I can display it for you. Anyway, the one on the left is 'Terra' and the other is 'Strata'. They are rust, rock salt, and very thin copper wire.

maybe I'm hallucinating but it looks like there's a winged leopard in the terra one.

The first one kinda looks like someone playing a hidden instrument with the music's sound flowing through the air XD Beautiful works.

Very creative mediums, like your last piece too.

And all art on the computer is nothing compared to the actual piece. I know what you mean!

None. The rust stays on by its own means, and the rock salt, when soaked on the paper, adheres through crystalization. The copper wires have been threaded in and out of the paper, and need no adhesive.

I just await tactile holograms, at this point. Thank you-- something told me the pieces were as clean as they could be, but you are right-- as I can't get my eye right up to them, or smell the open rust, etc, it's hard to tell, so distant.
