"Toolbox" Redux

Here's a piece from my "Church Series" that I made a number of years back that I updated a bit. I also added a color changing LED lighting system.
It's going to be featured in a show - "Ekphrasis: Sister Arts ll". It's a show where artist supply artwork and poets/writers write about the works and visa versa. It opes this September at the Phipps Gallery in Hudson WI.
Check it out!

Ekphrasis: Sister Arts II
The definition of Ekphrasis used for this exhibition is "visual arts and poetry in conversation". Creators of these "sister arts" were given the unique opportunity to collaborate or to react to one another's finished piece to create new work for this show. This is the second Ekphrasis exhibit presented by The Phipps and curated by Lee Kisling, Lana Sjoberg, and Margaret Welshons.
