Image Culte

« Black Girl's Window » (1969), cadre de fenêtre en bois peint et collage de papiers imprimés découpés et objets divers, par la plasticienne Betye Saar. Artiste plutôt d’inspiration mystique, après l’assassinat de Martin Luther King Jr, le 4 avril 1968, Betye Saar introduit dans son travail des références au mouvement des droits civiques et à la question raciale. Source : MoMA.

Dans la moitié basse du cadre, un visage noir à contre jour et de chaque côté deux mains paumes ouvertes. La moitiée supérieure et subdivisée à la manière d’un pillulié, chaque case contenant une vignette : squelette, étoiles, ciel, aigle, etc.

A familiar facsimile calls for help while hanging by a thread during a crises in the living room.
Wood, acrylic paint, wire, laser cut MDF | 12 x 10.75 x 3.5 inches (30.5 x 27 x 9 cm) | October 2020

The colorful background is made from craft sticks I used as paint stir sticks that I saved. I now have quite a collection of them that I incorporate into assemblage pieces now and then.

Old Constellation With New Idea I
Recycled wood, discarded bottle caps, nails, wire, chain, acrylic paint, paper | 23.5 x 16.5 inches (59.7 x 41.9 cm)

This is the first Old Constellation piece I did. The wood is a piece of old plywood that was used to ship artwork in. I found it at work by the trash bins.

Art can be a wonderful catalyst for emotions. I remember my little thriller box that I invented after I found the background image (more in the alt text). Given the current political situation, I immediately realise who my fictitious muffin-baking princess would fill into cans and send to Mars without return ticket. :blobcatknife: 😈

A large matchbox covered in sugar-sweet muffins paper with lots of pink and glitter. This little girl unicorn princess style.
A different perspective showing the copper pot with the boiling bone which looks like a skull.
The opened box shows a miniature crime scene. The background is an oatmeal collector's picture from my childhood showing boys fighting with their arms crossed. Title: Cockfighting. In the foreground a pile of tin cans with portraits of men. At the top of the side wall a glass frog to kiss. Below a copper pot in which a piece of bone is boiling. What might be cooking there?
Another perspective on the tins. On the box side leans a rectangular white bone bead with three crosses. Did someone cross out the tin content?
