I've been working like crazy today to get two pieces finished. "Up and Up" was a large one, so this one had to be smaller in size. It has a big, demanding message though, "Our Turn!"
Well, yeah. If those dinosaurs had been able to stick around they wouldn't have missed out on the joy of lawn-mowing, for example.
An important piece about what makes the humans human. And what the perfect body is for lawn-mowing.
The lawn mowers are from two different editions of the same children's book ("My Favorite Book"). The dinosaurs are cut from a very brittle children's science book. I arranged everything on two fly leaves and added some small illustrations from a vintage youth dictionary to give the image a little bit of that typical science literature look.
Mixed media: fly leaves, book clippings, ink, on cradled wood panel, 9"x12"
