On the Wall

These next two found object assemblages were created to hang on the wall.  One resembles a subject of a Picasso painting and the other is fashioned after a Wizard of Oz character searching for his heart.  Most of the items I picked for these pieces were once used in someone's kitchen...not knowing that years down the road they would become part of a work of art.  Here is the reveal...


"Nanny Tin Panny" - strainer pan head; shoe brush hair;
jello mold eyes; fence topper eyebrows; nutmeg grater nose;

mellon baller mouth; candy mold ears; hot tea strainer earring






"Tinman Davis" - Folger's can body;
Davis biscuit cutter head; oil can hat;
measuring spoon arms; spool legs
