Context is everything, working progress

Protection, talisman, charms, love

Context is everything. Working progress.

My enlarged lapiz lazuli dowser is almost complete, just the chain to attach and base to paint and spray. The tip is an icing nib stuck on with araldite. The green frog is engagement of an eraser my son gave me. The heart is an eraser my daughter gave me. Both these items are protective to me. The teether shape is made out of disposable baking trays with a cat collar bell inside and the ring is an unused towel holder. Both my babies chewed and dented the teether which is another protective item I carry everywhere. The stone shape is an imitation of a crystal I have in my bag for years. My white light if you want. The hair is Tia's hair, my angel, my friend's daughter, my kid's godmother. Tia passed from cancer and even now we still have 'that' connection, I made a locket to keep her hair in for safekeeping and for this project.

Objects I'm making for context is everything

Context is everything

Our new project, crit day is April Fools!
I want to use special objects that I cannot leave the house without, for instance, an old silver teether, battered and dented by my two children, a lapiz lazuli dowser on a chain, assortment of crystals and objects like erasers given to me by my children and one more thing, a lock of hair that was from my good friends daughter before she died, these are the things I shall use, I shall  make models of each, possibly much much bigger and use them for a sculpture, maybe using prints from some or imprints to give texture, currently experimenting!
