Part 5- last of the new work for now

These last three messengers are large...well for me they are.  I have included a woman in this set as there were several in the set of photographs and children- yes the had committed crimes as well. These are framed in 20 inch square shadow box frames.  Working this large certainly has its challenges.  I made good use of my printer as I can print up to 13" x 19" and I did a lot of that for these three.  For these three instead of quotes I made dioramas.  They are scenes telling stories- stories for you to imagine. All three of the dioramas have hearts- Are they fleeing hearts?- soaring hearts? Broken hearts? ...You get to decide.  Thank you for your positive comments on the work for my show.  They mean a lot to me.

Messenger Richard S.
 
Messenger Mabel S.
 
Messenger Walter S.
 
This gives an idea of scale- the small one is one of
the 9" squares.

    I think these are even better than the messengers with written messages (says me who really does believe a picture is worth a thousand words!). Having the small collages on the chalkboards inside the pieces is totally delightful - like 2 collages in one!

      thank you Sharmon- I am very pleased with these- all the elements of the collages inside the frame are at different levels so very 3D diorama like.

    You are a master, Terry. The visual message board within the frame packs a punch and I, too, love the wings, their beauty and symbolism. Well done. Wish I lived closer so that I could see them close up. Thanks so much for posting.
