Parts of a Whole
Private Collection
This piece measures approximately 6" by 6" and is 5/8" thick. Wooden frame with a gold paint underlay onto which hand-made paper has been glazed. Inset into the frame is glass covered with stained paper, slate from the rooftops of Lancashire, a single sea-worn and broken shell from the coast of the Ribble estuary, one frond of flowers plucked and preserved and one broken bone of unknown origin. Parts when put together form a whole, but each whole is no more than another part of some greater whole.
