“Wild Rose – Hanging No. 2” The rose became a symbol for silence and secrets, as well as love. One Roman belief was that the flowers themselves stored secrets amidst their tightly wound petals. Roses were thus hung overhead during meetings, and the attendees were said to be sub rosa (‘under the rose’): bound to an oath of silence as to all matters raised in that room. A relic of this belief can still be seen today, in the stucco roses which decorate the ceilings of banquet rooms in some grand residences. Hand-built from 180 gram crepe paper, pollen tips from turmeric glue. Leaves and eucalyptus spray from 180 gram and doublette crepe paper. Displayed in vintage picture frame.
Miniature - “Wrought Iron with Roses” 1st in Vignette Series There is something mystical about wrought iron. Its longevity begs to share stories of events it has witnessed over time. Roses…particularly red roses…are symbols of love and of loss. We can imagine the story behind this piece… I hand built this miniature wrought iron fence using wire and crepe paper. The miniature roses and vine, I created utilizing German doublette crepe paper – and a magnifying glass and tweezers. Displayed on cedar plank. This piece is the first in my Vignette Series.
