Construction 27, revisited

Construction #27: Wood construction
I was never happy with the original loud color scheme, below, so I painted it black. It worked well for Louise Nevelson.

Materials for this piece include:

Pine from a church renovation in Medford that Ruth told me about.

Curved table leg from Steve.

Croquet set from a woman in Medford, found through freecycle.

Metal bracket trash picked by Daemeon.

Construction #40

Construction #40: Wood construction with acrylic paint 12x4x8"

Remembering the people and places involved in the acquisition of each component of my constructions really adds to my enjoyment of the work. I use a lot of reclaimed material, so each piece ends up having a pretty varied genealogy. I thought it would be interesting to document the sources that I can remember. Materials for this piece include:

Pine from a church renovation in Medford that Ruth told me about.

Wood hanger from our closet.

New pocket door track from a recent renovation. Our carpenter, Richard, chose not to use this piece from the installation kit.

Cabinet drawer removed from our kitchen in the renovation.

A piece from the "shorts" bin at Boulter Plywood in Somerville.

Page from Emerson's essay, Art. My wife made the book into a purse.
