wood assemblage with painted elements- mixed media

38”x 50"

This piece is a handmade mosaic of antique wood gathered, deconstructed, and reconstructed into the composition you see in front of you. I spent the better part of a year creating this work between sourcing the wood and fine tuning each piece.
