You may recall a curvy two-piece ensemble that I debuted in late 2014, named Echo and Narcissus. In early 2015, after some frustration with certain aspects of the wall cabinet, Echo, I was inspired to make some changes to the cabinet that expressed that frustration. The image at left clearly describes those changes. For anyone interested in more specifics about how the new piece was actually made, the recipe (or as much of it as I'm willing to reveal) is as follows:
(1) finely crafted and detailed cabinet and mirror ensemble
frustration, a healthy pinch
(3) handmade arrows w/ broadheads
(1) longbow
a drill press
I'm calling the new piece Negotiated Peace (formerly Echo & Narcissus). For more images, visit my Gallery page.
The decision to change the piece was not an easy one. I debated with myself for days, stressed, didn't sleep. The thought of potentially destroying something I had created was scary, but so very intriguing. In the end, that inner voice won out, the one that kept saying "you know I'm right, quit fooling yourself and do it." The funny thing about that voice: it's always right.
