carol cartier's upcoming show

I'm working on new pieces for my upcoming show at the Gem on July 23. Here's a preview of the progress.



These are pieces of coral from Coral Bay, St. John, US Virgin Islands. My family and I visited 2 years ago. I tried to find an entire alphabet. Fat chance. Must return.



Desk mess.



The deer"skull" is a broken lobster buoy. The eyes wink. The group of tags are part of a piece that celebrates the gorgeous simple specimen label.



This is an unassembled assemblage of a seal! The dude does not have his tattoos yet.



Here are 2 birds. one is made from beach-combed finds the other from tin and vintage protractors.
lots more to do. I'm out of my tree.

Come to my Cabinet of Curiosities. July 23 5-8
Secrets will be revealed.

    Ditto, ditto, ditto. What was it your Haystack teacher said? You have a way of putting things together, a felt understanding of how one thing can be joined to another to create something new and different and beautiful.

    I'm writing on a blog. Yes.
