Palo Alto art festival
As of this weekend, I am a proud owner of an original piece of artwork (not done by yours truly)! Not-coincidentally, it was one of the few things I could afford at the Palo Alto art festival. :) Kinda neat, the artist said he specifically made a few sculptured pieces that were cheaper and people could buy and walk off with- which is exactly what I did. Not a bad purchase for $40 in my opinion. (www.jeffowen.com if you're interested in his other stuff)
It's made from ONE rectangular piece of metal with the inside square cut out and folded in front of it. He repeated this motif 5 times. (Does this make sense??) But it all started off with one rectangular piece that was 15" x 10". Pretty neat I thought!! (Stacey, the clock will kinda show you the size of the piece, but it won't be going in the kitchen. I was thinking in the living room next to the right of the door.) Its neat as is but I think it would be awesome with photographs stuck to the wall behind each opening, almost functioning as a picture frame. And I will be volunteering my roommate Stacey to photograph/select which pictures we'll be displaying. B&W preferably, don't you all agree?!?
