Love making assemblages of finished boxes – thinking about David Rabinowitch's Box Through Assemblage.

Personally, I am quite a sucker for the minimal abstract and architectural feel of our boxes. But all the more so when they are covered with the beautiful Yves Klein-blue linen from @ratchford_fj .

Definitely my favourite colour. 👌

This assemblage is made with a series of boxes made for Dutch visual artist Joos van de Plas.

« Black Girl's Window » (1969), cadre de fenêtre en bois peint et collage de papiers imprimés découpés et objets divers, par la plasticienne Betye Saar. Artiste plutôt d’inspiration mystique, après l’assassinat de Martin Luther King Jr, le 4 avril 1968, Betye Saar introduit dans son travail des références au mouvement des droits civiques et à la question raciale. Source : MoMA.

Dans la moitié basse du cadre, un visage noir à contre jour et de chaque côté deux mains paumes ouvertes. La moitiée supérieure et subdivisée à la manière d’un pillulié, chaque case contenant une vignette : squelette, étoiles, ciel, aigle, etc.

Art can be a wonderful catalyst for emotions. I remember my little thriller box that I invented after I found the background image (more in the alt text). Given the current political situation, I immediately realise who my fictitious muffin-baking princess would fill into cans and send to Mars without return ticket. :blobcatknife: 😈

A large matchbox covered in sugar-sweet muffins paper with lots of pink and glitter. This little girl unicorn princess style.
A different perspective showing the copper pot with the boiling bone which looks like a skull.
The opened box shows a miniature crime scene. The background is an oatmeal collector's picture from my childhood showing boys fighting with their arms crossed. Title: Cockfighting. In the foreground a pile of tin cans with portraits of men. At the top of the side wall a glass frog to kiss. Below a copper pot in which a piece of bone is boiling. What might be cooking there?
Another perspective on the tins. On the box side leans a rectangular white bone bead with three crosses. Did someone cross out the tin content?

Here's a sort of reintroduction post showing some recent-ish work.

I chose these examples because I don't think they need CWs, whereas some of my other work would, but the first image does have alcohol in it (hence the blur)

1. Lararium (fandom): Oh My God, This Is Happening!

2. Playful Rituals (08)

3. Flare/Fog

4. Work in progress, a collaborative piece as part of Changeling Morris

Finally the penny has dropped! I have an exhibition showcase at a rather conservative #embroidery festival. My #BiodiversityShrines are provocative in a region with farmers who spray pesticides twice when the soil is broken (their logic) and far too many people vote for Le Pen. My idea: I build them up as #archaeological #museum exhibits from the #future! #Subversive. Catch them by #beauty and #colours and when they are hooked ... bang! 😁 #EcoArt #ArtActivism #assemblage #activism #biodiversity

Tiny ants made of rocailles and the finest wire sitting on violet silk for a test.
Watering a big piece of bark from a wild cherry (prunus avium). It looks like a papyrus roll. Therefore, I want to fix it like this. On the inside, I want to stitch a fantasy writing with yarn, as if it is a find of an ancient civilisation. Wild cherries are a common tree at forest edges but more and more die because heatwaves and droughts are too much for them.
A red vintage cigarette tin box for an assemblage because we "burn biodiversity away". It is wallpapered with a page from a vintage dictionary that begins with the word "human". Other words are checked, forming a story. Inside, a "spider's web" of raw silk is laid out. The cigarette slogan is visible on the lid: When only the best will do. I plan an installation with my small ants but have still to craft some.
