Description This was done for the Holonic Art Movement
It is part of an assemblage of eight other pieces, the progress of which can be seen here: [link]
Almost complete creative freedom except for one small requirement, which I quote.
"The theme is: ORANGE
Please make sure there's something orange about your piece, be it just a tiny corner. Of course it could also be a poem about an orange or whatever else comes to your creative mind. But please remember, there will be eight more pieces to accompany your artwork and somehow they will have to fit together in the end..."
On 6" x 6" mounted board.
Received envelope, book page, tape packaging, two kinds of tape, found paper, lamp assembly instructions, altered paper from previous works.
Elmer's white glue, x-acto knife.
I was going to include some elephants adorned with orange fabric to allude to Calder's wire circus creations, but the aesthetic was unfortunately just not working. Darn and darn.

I love the composition. It's wonderfully balanced.

A shame about the elephants though.

Thanks, thanks, that's very kind. And yeah, elephants really would have brought it to a whole new (and better!) level. Oh well, such is life I suppose!

Nice work and interesting project. It's always a shame when a great idea just clashes with what you have, but the result is nice.
