the realm of lamentations (case grey)

two original artworks

an original ink-brush drawing on found paper
4.75 x 8 inches

an original mixed media artwork (monoprint and paint) on postcard
5 x 7 inches

for the drawing (case grey), ink brush directly to paper, with writing in graphite pencil (the found paper is from a vintage, discarded textbook about minerals)

the realm of lamentations — wax transfer onto vintage postcard, then worked into a more complete artwork

the realm of lamentations is a place visited within us all

both artworks attractively packaged for gift giving in a clear sleeve

meant for a frames, but can just as well sit on a shelf or in a corner of a bedroom or office space

or mail a friend some original art (even together, flat enough for normal postage)

Case Grey

baroque reasons
chemical elements
states on earth
Milton proficient
containing each is
original bodies
discrete groups
sinister lights
combined as
iron oxide in
airtight containers
slowly the meteorite
degrades social circles
bodies shimmer with
strange pictures
in my mind

the realm of lamentations

The way up and the way down are one and the same.
— Heraclitus

It is more fitting for a man to laugh at life than to lament over it.
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

One faces the future with one's past.
— Pearl S. Buck

always shipped with care

buy things made by human hands, not computers

escape from the dreaming planet ... give the gift of original art
