Edgar and Edith - one when together.
Finalist - Petite Pieces 2023 - Aspire Gallery.
I showed an ex-cabinet maker friend a split block of wood and asked him what I could do with it. He broke the block in half and said, "Nothing". At that moment, in my mind, Edgar and Edith were born - I was determined to keep them together forever. Without sharing my intentions, I laughed and walked away with my broken block of wood.
I have since shown my friend Edgar and Edith (eternal lovers) and he stood staring at them for a while, then looked at me shaking his head and said, "Amazing". Once again I laughed!
Not only did I reframe the wood which otherwise would have gone to landfill, but I reframed my friends' way of thinking. Nailed it! Pardon the pun.
