DISCO 2 (with disco 1 book in the next posting)

 

 

 
Posted by Picasa
I had to go back and make a DISCO 2 WITH SOME OF THE REMAINING PIECES FROM THE DISINTEGRATION REMAINS...the back cover of an old book beckoned me...it had been out with "sprout baby sprout" painted on the back, and metal pieces, but once again, the surprise was the reverse side/ the unintentional doings of Nature...lovely markings and still the original signature on the cover intake. The
Thoreau quote had been on a small page attached to it, and so it's rewritten here in sepia ink with a brush and lines, the large metal upholstery tack from mexico was added which held pieces on somewhere, and in the little hanging roll, the quote
"All the birds have flown up and gone. A lonely cloud floats leisurely by. We never tire of looking at each other. Only the mountain and I." Li Bai

    So glad you made a disco 2. Wonderful to look at and study- the colors, the way the bottom of the page works- the tack and your roll of paper attached. The Thoreau quote is great- never heard it before - but will remember it now:"with all your science, can you tell how it is and whence it is that light comes into the soul".
    Thanks so much for visiting my disco posting and leaving your kind comments. Much appreciated!

    Love your piece. It captures the essence of the project. And it reminds me of the desert - which clearly you love.

    This piece is as lovely as the previous one. The water spots are so telling. You have a great eye for disintegration and placement. I'm really in awe because my pieces didn't disintegrate nearly as well as yours did.
