Since this ventures into 3 dimensional space but is not really sculpture, it strongly relates to “Plaque” while staying within the color range of blue. Also being from a tree surfaces, it also relates to the tree subject of “Forked Shaped Tree”. Having a fascination with the variety of bark and wood surfaces of trees, I began casting them and combining them. The casting was in Po-Yo Putty, creating a negative of the surface, then that cast into paper.

I was both fascinated and horrified to visit a metal recycling plant near home. Seeing all manner of metal objects, both large and small that had been discarded amazed me. School buses, heating boilers, signs as well as car parts and small cans were being crushed together into large cubes. When the plant was, sadly, being closed I selected a few small items to cast in paper and combine into a new configuration.
