It Comes in Waves

It Comes in Waves 
by Kimberly Rogers

SOLD!

I made this found object assemblage in response to the earthquake in Japan.
The news of the devastation and impending effects of the nuclear disaster
is hitting me in waves.

Made with pieces of rust, a discarded squeeze tube, Japanese postal ephemera,
antique porcelain doll arm and button.
a mounted on a composite stone backing and framed in a used discarded frame of linen and wood.

Outdoor shot


I am offering this piece for $100
All proceeds not including shipping will go to a Japanese  Earthquake relief fund of your choice.
I'll calculate shipping depending on where it's headed.
estimated minimum of $20

Thanks, Kim

    Your work is perfect for what I am attracted to...rusty stuff, found objects, text - textures. Love the way you have arranged them.
    Brilliant!
