these elements look good together. that sounds as if i’m taking credit but i’m not. i think part of my fascination with assemblages is that almost no matter how many objects you place in proximity to each other, as long as they all come from the same bioregion, they will somehow fit together aesthetically. so the wild grape vine, the flicker feather, and the spruce top above may appear not to have much to do with each other, but they all fit, because they were all made by the same place. they are all hearing the same background music, and without thinking much about it, they are singing in harmony.
