Description
My friend Pat is a remarkable artist. It seems like she's come up with something new every time I turn around! A couple of years ago she did a fiber arts piece with several different green fabrics torn in strips and arranged to form a willow-like tree. She beaded several of these pods and incorporated them into her design ... the Friendship Tree bearing fruit.
Pat is also the person I worked with on the City Moon Bag
Last year one of the art groups Pat belongs to put out a challenge for their members to make a 12-inch square based on the idea of quilting, made from at least 25% trash. They were supposed to incorporate items that they normally would have thrown away. Pat liked the idea so much she made a different square every month made of 100% pre-stream garbage, framed them with duct tape, hooked them together with wire bread ties, and called it "My Year In Garbage." It's brilliant.

I love what she's done here. Her other work is something I'd like to see

This is wonderful! As usual, you zoom in on the details and open a world of beauty for our eyes. Excellent, Tara!
Wow.... With my propensity for gathering weird stuff, maybe I should do a "My Year In Junk" piece. LOL

Just one question, how are you guys NOT on etsy? (you're not on etsy, are you?)
I think I like your friend. This is a wonderful example of found art and the City Moon Bag is perfect. And she comes up with some pretty funny titles.

I love Pat's sensibilities---making art from what's in front of her (so to speak), and re-creating things in the world out of 'other' things in the world. (Re-creating, literally. Making a car out of throw pillows, that kind of thing.) I'd love to see a house filled with her stuff. This is a beautiful fruit, made of various found objects. I love the opening, and all the beads and jewels around it. (Costume jewels; I'm not implying rubies and diamonds.) And though you shot just a piece of this hanging fabric tree, I love the feeling of streaming branches and streaming, period. Your shot has the qualities of all your zeroing-in-on-objects shots, and brings out the mystery, shadows and glitter of this object and its setting. A beautiful creation, and a beautiful photograph.

Un réel travail d'artiste - patience et ingéniosité s'y entrecroisent...
