HOMAGE TO JAMES DEAN & THE GREEKS ASSEMBLAGE {2005}: Mixed-media on canvas, 24×36”, {Property of the Artist}.
-
He stole the heart (the strongest one) / The one with wings that would have flown. He stole the heart (before it grew) / No note the harm deceit would do. He stole the heart (and sad to say) / Filleted its soul with fork and knife. He stole the heart (the one with wings) / But stronger souls can trump a King. Actual artwork is 12” x 12”. Mixed media mosaic, framed in 2” deep, distressed brown solid wood shadow box that can be opened. My work is hand-beaded by gluing each bead, jewel and embellishment one by one onto foam-core using tweezers and toothpicks. I love this kind of meditative labor. I use leather, brass and silver charms and hundreds of Czech and Japanese bugle beads.

This mixed media art is 9.25”x7.25” and includes a black shadow-box frame that opens. Oscar Wilde said “Hearts live by being wounded.” This piece is inspired by his understanding of love and pain. My work is hand-beaded by gluing each bead, jewel and embellishment one by one onto foam-core using tweezers and toothpicks. I love this kind of meditative labor. I use vintage Swarovsky buttons and crystals, bugle beads, seed beads, rhinestones, silver, brass, embellishments, and a rich dark pink and silver dichroic glass heart.
-
You’ve Got Heart is a 5” x 7” (artwork size) mixed media mosaic framed with a black shadow-box that opens. A heart doctor doesn’t deal only with the physical heart but the emotional heart as well. My doctor inspired this piece with his wonderful, warm care. My work is hand-beaded by gluing each bead, jewel and embellishment one by one onto foam-core using tweezers and toothpicks. I love this kind of meditative labor. I use vintage Swarovski buttons and crystals, a huge deep red and gold dichroic heart, beads, silver charms and lots of Czech bugle beads.

This picture was made in 2006. The letters were crude, recovered from a sign on a building site. I’ve be kept in a metal box (box cakes) for many years telling myself, one day I will use it. I have made books. * / - Featured in the group DaDa Land 160 views at 2nd december 2009

I had these letters for a long time, 1990, if I remember well. They were well arranged in my attic. I knew that one day I’ll use them. And when I was invited to propose a work with the “Délires of books” ehbibition in Chartres with the topic “jeu(x), je…”. The puns can’t have sense with translation = “play(s) / I… . I knew that I was going to use them. I started with texts, poems more exactly, with puns too of course. / Then I’ve made photos, a lot of photos like a diary about the letters and the work in progress. After these photos are in the boxes as pages…

Assemblage of found chair and found broken glass, the city (San Francisco) is full of wonder. This chair was created from the idea of: making the functional into something nonfunctional combining unlikely materials representing the urban environment – glass and steel, soft and rigid, harsh and comforting, functional and visually stimulating The chair began as a conceptual piece and happened to turn into something beautiful.

This piece was produced with a mixed material process on illustration board. I glued old, collected “Lucky Strike” packs to create the blue area, and the patterned red stripes. Then I added in selective areas of acrylic paint, dry brushing for an expressive effect. The skulls were brushed in with black ink and gesso, also the “pledge of allegiance” was written in only to be whitewashed over. Upon completing this work a little accent drawing was created on the computer. which helped to refine and finish the mixed material painting. The original dimensions of the piece are 19in. X 25.5in. It was completed in 2008.

Assemblage based on a childhood book – ‘Heidi’, using sardine-tin, winged seeds, machinery part…..... I’ve recently started putting disparate objects together to experiment with conditioned influences in thew human psyche …....particularly how the feminine is viewed culturally.

Some matters of the heart are too precious to be told. Handmade Art Box (doesn’t open) is 4″ square, without embellishments. The gorgeous, emerald green Murano glass heart is 1 1/2″ tall and the detail in this one is exquisite! “Precious” is covered in an aged, red, faux leather embossed paper that I salvaged from one of my mother’s vintage photo albums. Brass accents create a beautiful and intimate treasure chest… for the secrets of the heart.
-
“Love Nest” is a delicate assemblage of nesting birds in the trees. A glorious glass heart in glittering bronze and black anchors the piece. Two love birds await the arrival of a blue egg’s hatchling. A special tribute to spring and renewal. Here’s to the new generation! A 4” terra cotta tile assemblage is matted in metallic spring green and framed in a 5 1/2” table top shadow box.

costume pearls, cut out print of drawing, print, wrapped and archival glued – on 1” thick plywood Last year I participated in a local benefit exhibition where the artists are given 12×12” blank plywood boards and we can embellish them as we desire. I wrapped a portion of one of my prints of my drawing Autumn’s Child/Mon Ange on the board, cut out another one of it to create the “mask” of her – and added fake pearls to looks as if the drawing was popping out of itself and to tie all the elements together. (I was so lucky to go to my magic drawer and discover this long strand in there that were the exact diameter of the drawing’s. They are costume and come from sewing items that were my Grandmother Alvina’s.) Here is a shot taken of it laying flat: / >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Here is what the image looks like on RedBubble products:

An assemblage piece that has grown out of other pieces around the same theme: family lineage. Collage of print images, copies of old family photos, acetate overlays made on my copier, framed with small rocks and acrylic colored gloss medium. 16×20 on canvas. A piece very dear to my heart. Amazingly I found a beautiful celtic tune by the same title.

This was another piece I did for a local benefit two years ago. All participating artists were given 12×12” plywood boards that we could do whatever we liked with. I took a print of my drawing Rock, Scissors, Paper / and cut it down – wrapping it entirely around the board. Then I added white painted branches and made some little leaves out of screen for embellishment. This was awarded at the exhibition to my surprise and delight. Here is what it looked like in entirety: / (Signed and numbered limited-edition prints of the original drawing are available at cynthia’s store) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

From the series: Letters From An Expedition: In Search of The Missing Muse. Journal entry No.02/02. The missing muse; I thought I saw her on the street today, crossing against the light. I turned to follow, but lost her in the throng. Other people on the street feel her presence, but are unsure of what has occurred. I want to ask, “Have you seen her?” but refrain; I know what they will think. They stare at the spot where her presence was felt and I move on. I traced the direction that she must have taken, but never caught up to her. I walked straight for minutes or hours and didn’t give up until twilight darkened the faces of every passerby. It was late when I got back home and my family was asleep.

This is another assemblage piece I did earlier this year for a local benefit exhibition. I was given a 12×12” plywood board that I could adorn any way I desired. I had this bright green silk dress that I always found too warm to wear so I decided to tear it apart and use it here. But I’m getting ahead of myself. First I made a print of one of the faces from my drawing Seedling for the centerpiece. I wanted this peaceful pristine being to hold court – and hold up to the other forces I’d be subjecting her to. Then I started draping parts of the dress around her – adhering it to the board with acrylic glaze. This took a lot of glaze to get it all to stay in place. Not leaving well enough alone, I brought out some acrylics and started to liven it up further. (can you tell I’m color deprived?) She needed something else out of her emerging-ness – so I dug around until I found these hands that I had found in a paper sample book years ago. I used to have them on my computer monitor. I liked their eyes and they remind me of potatoes. (are you calling authorities yet?) Initially I had about 30 turquoise pencil nubs shooting out from her “wrists”, but decided it got too busy – too many mixed messages – so they were pulled out at the last minute. I think that ultimately, this is a piece that has me once again trying to explore and examine the duality of human nature – the fact that the sacred and profane can rest within the same being. Oh, the title comes from the purchase price of the dress from one of my favorite resale shops.
