“By a Thread” ( 12 x 8 x 4 in), called to me this morning to share, reflecting the truth of the delicate filament that holds not only our own lives, but connects us all to one another, ocean to ocean. Balancing what we can and cannot control is a daily practice, calling for our best selves to come forward and do what we can to make a difference, during challenging times. Love to all…

This wall piece was created by layering original macro photography with encaustic medium, carving with relief, cutting to shape and sculpting, coloring with powdered pigment, and sewing onto the found branch, gifted by a friend. The small sculpture dangling by the “thread” (wire) was hand sculpted and rests inside part of an orchid petal, delicate and pure.

This piece is represented by Higher Art Gallery in Traverse City, MI. You many contact Shanny Brooke, artist owner, here. Thank you! If you have further questions, please feel free to reach out and I am happy to assist you and connect you with the gallery.
