Mac Member's show

so this is the piece i have come up with so far to take to the MAC for the annual Member's show....as usual, I am questioning if it is good enough before i suck up my courage to display a work....

the show is about the effect or roll food plays in life....basicly.....i'm sure it could be more than that, but that is the definition i have placed on it for myself artisticly....

this piece is made of the plastic doll's head, wire, an antique bed spring, three jars of pickled peppers, cloth, and paper which i have written on....

The dolls head was actually a night light of sorts, given to me by my grandmother when she had an antique shop...the bed spring, i picked up at a neat store in Frankston, Texas called Pandora's box...and the Pickled peppers were from my father's garden and i pickled them myself for the first time ever, this week...

all of the elements used, are somehow connected, if not by memory alone, to visions of childhood...

like my Dia de Los Muertos piece from The Bath House Cultural Center 2007 show....this piece is fill with my grandmothers....and, this time, my father is represented with items from his garden....it is funny, but i didn't actually think about this until i started to type this up..

as a child, i had fond memories of the garden...running through the rows of vegetation....trying to hide behind corm stalks or discovering new bugs and critters attacking various plants...

This piece is called " Bitter Sweet: You are What You Eat"....
( i think it is funny)
