Tar Paper Roses

Tar Paper Roses are so cool!

I started making more tar paper roses after a long break. The picture on the right shows the first piece I made which is about 22" wide, 20" high, and 4-5" deep. I love the way the light bounces off the folded surfaces, and the shadows that are created on the wall. I finished 5 smaller pieces, which are 7" by 8" by 3". I took four of them to the holiday exhibit at the Concord Art Association, and kept one for a spare. I showed them to Faith after the fourth grade coffee, and she laughed, saying now that is getting weird. Like my earlier work wasn't? No, she could fill her walls with it. Anyway.
