blast from the past

origins of the species - i was going through some old hard drives recently and was confronted by some old work, in the collage sculpture and shadow box vein, this work ranges from about 1999 - 2007 or thereabouts, some might be later. so i thought i'd share them here - despite the mediocre photography.

collaborating

Etymology
From Ancient Greek θέμα (théma).

Noun
thema (genitive thematis); n, third declension
1 - theme, topic
2 - the alignment of celestial bodies at a person's birth

the idea of this is a type of collaboration, the pouch is made to hold something that is to be cherished, in the case of this particular pouch the theme is - the child in us - i have not made the contents of the pouch yet, the person interested has to tell me 3 things/thoughts/feelings on the subject and i will make the contents accordingly - these contents will be unknown until they receive the pouch.

these bags that i found on etsy through steph are just beautiful
