Medium: Mixed media with nest, driftwood and shattered glass inlay on carved wood assemblage
About the Image:
Repurposed lumber, used without reshaping the boards, combine to form an oddly shaped panel containing its own emotional expressiveness. That notion of undeserved grace inspired both the title and the upswelling of sparkling glass in its celebratory shape.
