Dried Flowers On My Nightstand: Sculpture 1

For my own blog Patina's Heartbeat. Doris Salcedo's "A Flor de Piel," Zoe Leonard's "Strange Fruit (For David)," and Coralie Fargeat's "The Substance" as absurdist art pieces for victims. The reason for 'Sculpture 1' being added to the end of the title is: "I see Patina’s Heartbeat as a place to share many maquettes, and if I find myself bringing ideas to a more formal, fired point of completion: that essay is a sculpture."

Chiaroscuro For The Eyes and The Heart: Maquette 2

For my own blog Patina's Heartbeat. Autocritography on my vision and sight, dark and light. I wrote about chiaroscuro in painting and in my waking life. The reason for 'Maquette 2' being added to the end of the title is: "I see Patina’s Heartbeat as a place to share many maquettes, and if I find myself bringing ideas to a more formal, fired point of completion: that essay is a sculpture."
