#detritusredefined

I finally figured out what I want to do with my life! I’m mixing my love of alternative photography with my love for the river mud and turning it into pieces I’ve [somewhat embarrassingly] tagged #detritusredefined . I leave these pieces in off the wall places. A rusty exhibition of sorts. (You can click on the images for a larger view.)

This is an image of a handcrafted art piece made with a photograph, sewn into leather and other things found in our local rivers. — A photograph, sewn to a piece of leather found in a local river. Copper wire and a bird skull complete the piece.

The same piece, hung. Left behind for another to enjoy. Or not.

Here are some more #detritusredefined pieces:

A wind-slide exhibit:

I drilled holes into a tumbled blue glass bottle neck that I found in the Chehalis River.

I drilled and sewed the edges of some transparencies.

Most of these images are transparencies of original prints that had been hand tinted. One is an image of my dad, skipping stones. He died just this past Thanksgiving.

All strung up with a clock gear to boot.

A viewer:

I used a little found milk glass jar to create a viewer. I wanted to honor the little barnacle.

I topped the jar with a river-found glass lens and wrapped it with river-found leather. I added rhinestones to the barnacle.

The viewer.

Look inside and there’s the head of David.

Here are some river-found bottles that I “impregnated” with my images.

I’m a big fan of barnacles.

Another view, with barnacles.

A river-found bottle.

A rusty tin:

I attached a wetplate collodion photo and a river-found buckle to a rusty tine.

Inside is an impregnated river-found bottle.

This tin was placed and as far as I know it’s still there, waiting for someone to find it intriguing enough to take home.

Deranged Robin with river finds:

Reverse.

Deranged Robin.

Coming soon to a tree, an alleyway, or some other spot near you!

Wetplate collodion and river finds:

Two wetplate collodion images melded together.

River-found findings.

River-found items and two film transparencies that have been sealed in epoxy resin.

I’ll update as I place these items.
