Part 5: Prayer Box. Part of FMP work, A Midsummer Nights Dream.

This beautiful object was found in the back of Horncastle, and given it’s content I wanted to add to it in a sensitive way to let the object retain it’s own beauty. The dipped edge of the scrolls simply represet the colour of the donkey Bottom, one of the characters of the play.

Found object and acrylic.

I started reading the book of e.e cummings poems. After I read the poem that compares the woman’s hands to flowers and rain, I put the book down and went to the window. I stared at my reflection and the trees behind it for a long time. Not thinking anything. Not feeling anything. Not hearing the record. For hours.
