Been working on my first #assemblage piece today. This is kind of going to be a self portrait so the goal was to make the doll look more like an adult. Running around trying to find objects for the piece, and painting the doll head. It may take several weeks or more to find all the objects I need.

This is the top of a sculpture that I will title “Inflation” or something similar. The cost of this tube of Golden paint is going to be tracked with a chart. Today this tube costs $14.62. While Golden paints are manufactured in the U.S., they do use materials sourced from around the world. #tariffs

Canvas fabric sculptural 2D pieces in progress. Painting them is the next phase. These were made out of old paintings I had lying around in the studio.

Repurposing old paintings and turning them into sculptural 2D pieces. I think I’m going to love creating these!
