In getting a proposal ready for a show of my tar paper roses, I’ve been thinking a lot what the title should be.
Adornments
Adorned and adored, open and shut, making do
Shopped, captivated, sculpted, fabricated, woven, web, statue
Adorned and trimmed, notions of adornment, notions, trimmings
Decorated, enhanced, covered, shielded, hidden, layers, tiers, layers, shells, layers, peeled away, having a core, hard nut to crack, gristle of fat and bone.
Layers of meaning, nature, and nature run amok
Appropriated space, appropriated imagery, materials used out of context
Apples to apples, apples to oranges, dust to dust, ashes to ashes, new life
Adornment: deck and furnish, be an ornament to, bedeck, ornamental adornments, embellishment, frill, grace notes, accessories of worship, gewgaw
Embellishment: beautify, add interest to
Adornments of desire, accouterments of success
Trappings of power, trappings of wealth
Ornaments of worship, embellishments of beauty
Caparison: have trappings, obscure, to adorn richly
Rose: Everything is roses, Roses all the way, Ease, success, favorable
Optimistic, Rose colored glasses, unfounded optimism
War of roses: red vs. white
Rosary: Rose garden, rose bed, bed of roses
String of 55 beads to keep track of prayers
Form of devotion in which prayers are said while counting on a special string of beads
Grace notes really sticks with me.
