Wedding Shrine from start to finish in photos - part one
Paint and collage would easily eliminate the unfortunate leopard spots. I also liked the duality of the base -- symbolic of the union of two individuals -- two doors, two drawers for the bride and groom singly, and I would remove the interior shelf to create a unified space for the unity of the two as a couple.
Here is the couple's invitation (names redacted). Isn't it lovely? It gave me the pallette for the colors of the work, all warm shades. Originally, I intended to add teal as a single cool element for visual relief from all the warmth but the abundance of blue in the collage materials (see post below) would supply that contrast. I mixed my paints and set to work to transform this ugly ducking into a swan, an object that could become as personal and special as their celebration.
The bride wanted a partially finished shrine, so that they and their guests could together create the final product. In the post below, I show how that was done. After their wedding, the couple will send me pictures of the finished shrine in all its glory, and I will follow up here to show what evolved from the ugly beginnings.
