mandala 1

 

mixed media on wood: dolls (some weathered in my garden), one wrapped in hospital casting material), acrylic paint, twine, nails, carpet tacks, beads, bone, shells, spider, doll heads, collaged paper. straight pins, safety pins

 

36" round X 5" depth

i was taking a walk and came across, in the trash, two of these round wood pieces. the shapes appealed to me immediately.

they sat in my studio for ages until i finally figured out what i wanted to do with them.

i am currently working on the second piece of wood which will be a companion piece to this.

 

because i photographed it head on some of the pieces do not show up as clearly as they do when you are actually looking at it.

the "dark" color of some of the dolls is because i "plant" them in my garden and let sun, wind, rain, snow age them.

and yes...i did rip off the heads!
