SIP OF NAILS

8.5″ x 12″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

Sometimes when you go to Ikea you buy furniture or decorations.  Maybe something functional for the kitchen or office is what you need.  I needed none of the above.  I was actually there and didn’t need anything, but it’s Ikea and you don’t leave there empty handed.  I bought 400 straws and made this.  I still have more straws left over as you can see.  So, maybe another straw piece is looming in the future.

JAH WORK

12″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Board

Tell me do you really know your brother man? Cause a heart speaks louder than a color can and why would you even shake a man’s hand if you’re not going to help him stand?
Jah work… Jah work… Jah work is never done…
Every man’s actions belong to he. If prepared for thereafter to each his destiny. Some people believe and some people know. Some people deceive and some people show.
Jah work… Jah work… Jah work is never done…
You must do the heaviest, so many shall do none. You have got to stand firm, so many shall run. Some they rest their head at night, some get no sleep at all. If you listen close to what you see you will hear the call.

Jah work… Jah work… Jah work is never done…  ~Ben Harper

NO CURVES

18″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Wood

Yes, there are really no curves.  Well there are, but none of the materials used are curved.  Each strand of hemp is brought from point A to point B to create the illusion of curved lines.  I believe I was taught this design in an elementary school art class, but it was done on paper then.  I wanted to bring the design to life in a more physical way.
