82 Charing Cross

82 Charing Cross 6 x 12"

A wall of distressed bricks (HO layout supplies) anchors the bottom of this piece while beaten copper runs across the top. The canvas is covered with a xerox copy of a Victorian engraving, stenciled and embellished.
Old watch parts, a frozen Charlotte, vintage water tap, wooden (Small Studios) and metal gears (Tim Holtz and 7 Gypsies), sealing wax, the number platte (Tim Holtz) and an ivory piano key top are affixed with heavy gel medium and wire. A string of swivel clasps (Tim Holtz) holds jewelry parts and more gears.


This is a companion piece to 14 Brick Lane and will be on offer at October's Open Studios.
