3. My European Touch
This is a six-segmented papier-mache ornament. Every other segment is either tiny tiles or clear, textured glass over gold leafing. I grouted in a lipstick red.
On Sept. 11, 2009 a knock came at my door, One of my 14 year old's friends said that Sam was hit by a car. I haven't been able to go down the street since, but this was my Dark and Stormy night. I jumped out of my neighbors car as it was still moving, first thing I saw was Sammy's black sneakers, neatly aligned next to the curb, then I saw him lying in a pool of blood. I never saw the car, only the color of it, that is the Okre colored square with the broken windshield. I never saw Sam's bike that too was a blur to the left with a sea of onlookers and First responders. The Sky is dark purple to the right with gold and silver foil under neath to give it an eerie feel. To the right is blue, it wasn't quite night but the glass on top of the glass is A Mother's tears.
