Issues Basket


For my grad class this semester we looked at artists that turned baskets into art. We were challenged to create our own piece. I had never had dreams about my art before this series came about. Now many pieces have come to me in a dream, this being one of them. This piece is made with foil wrapped in plaster, spray painted black, added the chains and then bits of acrylic paint for the finishing touches. I love how it turned out. The black, darkness to is resembling the struggles and issues I deal with on a daily basis, that have slowly become less and less as they are released from me through my artwork, leaving hope, joy and love in it's place. The chains once again being broken but holding together all the ugliness that I have carried for so long.
