Secret Message

2010 Mixed Media

This art piece was conceived while I was working on the larger House;Home project. Working on the houses I kept thinking of some dark things I wanted to say to people, but would never be able to tell them. After sculpting and casting the envelope, I used a strand of rice paper to write these things down and get them out of my head. The writing has been blurred as it is not for others to read. In person it would be displayed in a way that would obscure the writing. 

It was a very cleansing and raw experience to make something as personal as this.
