I am in love with Ori Patterns.

I love handmade silver ...magic paper from Plaza Art Store. 

While I fancy it silk worm spiderwebbing reminiscent, I am obliged to add meets silvery, organic fibers…in an anatomical-like weave of intricate cording and micro wiring systems that illustrate our nervous systems in our 9th grade biology classes. All this: strictly, aesthetically speaking of course. 

I am in love with ori patterns. Like, the ones inside the patterns I create by repurposing an object for its color/texture to better illustrate iconic, symbolic patterns in my own original, mixed-media, assemblage, abstractions. 

But by far, my favorite part is the chopping up of jewelry. I strip value of each medium and reassign it simultaneously as it becomes all a working part of one whole thus establishing uno.. singular figure (or in the case of a series: a collective one).

Welcome to my white trash neighborhood?

I stopped dead in my tracks, like middle of road --when I came up on it ..thinking: wait; hang on—some shit ain't right. Wtf is wrong here. With this whole suburban 'hood matte black minivan picture here.
