Made of various discarded objects including old defunct chargers, broken headphones, fabric, & clay.
It was inspired by two significant turbulent confusing & difficult love connections I’ve recently experienced.
A psychic informed me that I’ve been cursed by a spirit & that’s why these soul ties could never culminate & were difficult. This spirit would draw these ties away from me. She said the first relationship had already been lost & I was in the process of losing the second one unless I drew the spirit away hence the title “Lost Love.”
It took me no fewer than half a dozen attempts to even get a sketch I liked for Maglor. I kept trying to include an instrument into the composition of the piece but they all just looked so weird and out of place until I realized: stone statues don’t often have instruments in them because there are just too many fragile elements. So I just left it out and finally it started coming together.
That being said, I originally raised the question of which instrument would be best in a Maglor drawing to my friend group before I had fully decided on a pose for him. We were bouncing between panpipes and a lute when one said “maracas LOL” and I realized that I had just been granted the opportunity to create one of the most blursed images I’ve ever set to paper or tablet. So here you go: Maracglor.
Just out of frame are Finrod on the steel pans and Fingon on bongos.
I have found a beautiful perfect humble rock specimen that is light yellow with a weird dark yellowy brown lining, somewhat resembling a chunk of smoked gouda cheese... effervescent
I made myself an Audrey2-esque man-eating plant for my desk out of trash^^ She's named Alice, and she stands about 4 inches tall. Made out of an old cough syrup cup, card stock, hot glue, wire and a few pebbles, all painted in acrylics. I'm pretty proud of her.
I love the idea of floating topographies. This ring is made from fused produce bags, reused from my own collection, and silver for the ring band. It was made to look like a little city.
